I understand most words in this essay, but not the high-level meaning. What is spatial computing? How is it different to 3D reconstruction, slam, and the like

  3d reconstruction is one small piece of a suite that would solve problems like this-- there's also path solving, semantic scene representation, kinematics, etc. What's in the space, how would people in the space understand/describe it, how can actuators interact with it, how can people and devices find paths, what does a person moving along this path mean, how can a device assist in this abstract goal... It's a lot more than a mesh of geometry and a set of probable robot locations to do something useful. It's a whole lot of data and a whole lot of things that are poorly understood.
