Spatial Computing Market Analysis
Modern Internet, also termed Web 3.0, utilizes a suite of advanced technologies that render computers increasingly invisible. It is done by integrating the user interface (UI) into the physical environment. Spatial computing technology seamlessly integrates computers into the environment by utilizing human’s natural spatial capabilities to increase productivity.
Spatial computing is anticipated to dramatically change daily activities and has already had a huge influence on how people live. A simple example of the spatial computing revolution is social media location tagging. While it may be considered as a basic component of any social media post, it presents a robust context to users through location-specific information and generates insights about target audiences. Using a vehicle or phone’s Global Positioning System (GPS) system is another example of the technology revolution.
In many cases, the power that these technologies can offer increases when they operate in synergy with one another rather than in isolation. To address this, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) protocol for Web 3.0, aka the Spatial Web/metaverse, was released. It offers technical standards for these technologies to communicate with each other in an organized and harmonious way.
