What is Spatial computing?

Spatial computing refers to a technology that integrates digital and physical environments, allowing computers to interact with the real world in a natural and intuitive way. This involves using sensors, computer vision, and extended reality (XR) technologies to create immersive 3D experiences. Spatial computing enables applications like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), where digital objects can be placed and manipulated within the physical space, enhancing how we interact with information and our surroundings.
