What is spatial computing? – The Hindu

John was sitting with his best friend Max, watching TV. His brother Mikey, wearing their new gifted headset, was sitting on a chair, completely zoned out, like he was in a new world, occasionally pinching the air. All of a sudden he got up and started dancing. Then Mikey walked like he knew exactly where he was going and didn’t bump into any furniture or trip as he trotted up the stairs, continuing to pinch the air. Max was confused. “Mikey seemed distracted before. How does he suddenly know where he’s going?” he asked. John simply replied. “Because that headset is a product of spatial computing.”

To put it simply, spatial computing is an evolving form of computing that merges the digital and the real world. But here, instead of bringing humans to the digital world, it brings and integrates the latter into the real world, letting it study the real space and allowing the digital content to interact with said space.
