If you don’t keep up with the latest trends in technology, you may not have come across the term spatial computing.Don’t fret – we’ve got you covered.
Spatial computing is one of the latest technologies available, transforming the physical world with the world of augmented and virtual realities.Through spatial computing individuals are able to immediately interact with and manipulate elements in their augmented or virtual environments.
Still lost? No worries.
Simply put, spatial computing uses AR to overlay digital information onto the physical world so that you’re able to interact with and manipulate these projections in real-time.
Typically when we think of VR our minds will take us to the world of gaming where virtual environments are created for gamers to immerse themselves in. In other applications, spatial computing was initially used in aerospace to create flight simulators for pilot training.
Spatial computing converges the physical and digital worlds enabling the user to engage with digital information in augmented reality, by using sensors, cameras and tracking technologies. Because of the complexity of the emerging technology and its varying costs many industries have not yet taken the step to fully incorporate it. However, some experts predict that in time spatial computing will completely transform the education industry with online classes and workshops carried out using mixed-reality goggles where the instructor appears to give the class in person in real time – rather than through a computer screen. At Better Brain Lab, we expect online learning to become much more impactful and engaging with mixed reality technology, as innovative instructors are freed from the constraints of traditional digital media.
Previously only seen in sci-fi movies spatial computing is now a reality that multiple industries are considering integrating into their learning models. If you’re wondering if spatial computing is a worthwhile investment all you have to do is consider the benefits it offers. Utilizing gestures, voice, and eye movements, spatial computing allows for more natural and fluid user interfaces.
There are multiple examples of how spatial computing has enhanced training in different industries. For example, in healthcare, spatial computing has been used to create detailed 3D visualizations of anatomical models to train medical students and doctors. Other applications of spatial computing can be found in design and architecture where spatial computing has been used to project 3D designs onto the real world. This has allowed architects, engineers, and their clients to visualize prototypes. The 3D design enables architects to walk through virtual spaces, interact with the products they’re creating, and identify non-obvious design flaws.
“Spatial computing merges the physical and digital worlds, enabling users to interact with augmented reality information through natural interfaces.”
By creating a shared virtual space, spatial computing bridges the gap between geographically dispersed people, allowing them a chance to visualize and interact with the same augmented content across a physical distance. When training employees for high stakes situations, you’ll want to address the risk factor when it comes to errors. Spatial computing addresses this concern by providing a vivid alternative to the real thing. Employees being trained are allowed to make mistakes without having to worry about causing any actual damages.
Through offering realistic simulations in training and education, spatial computing presents a controlled environment where people can experience enhanced hands-on training that mimics the real world. Imagine how much more interesting training and education can be made by using interactive virtual reality where learners can engage with content on an augmented level.
Offering both the benefits of online and offline learning, spatial computing represents a scenario that is the best of both worlds. Spatial computing has the benefits of interactiveness that resembles a real-life classroom while having the added flexibility of being used in any context, and at any time regardless of the physical setting. If your organization can afford to invest in this new cutting edge technology you can expect to reap many transformative benefits and gain a competitive edge over other organizations.
