I'm a bit annoyed :-). We're building a platform (https://hivekit.io/ https://hivekit.io/) that lets you visualize, coordinate and automate operations in the physical world (on mines, construction sites, cities etc.).
When I first started talking and writing about it, I described what we did as spatial computing because - well - its computing stuff in a spatial sense. I even went further, suggesting that the patterns that emerge from entities operating in a physical space resemble the mechanics of other "thinking systems" like Neural Nets. (see https://hivekit.io/blog/building-ai-without-a-neural-network/ https://hivekit.io/blog/building-ai-without-a-neural-network...)
I felt, the term spatial computing was super applicable for that - and I still feel that way. But with the release of the vision pro, we had to surrender the term to Apple and go with the less pompous "workforce orchestration" instead.
- duped 3y agoApple did not invent the term "spatial computing" to apply to XR (augmented/virtual/extended reality headsets). I've heard the term for at least the last ten years, personally. I believe Magic Leap first started using it. edit: wikipedia says it's been around since the 90s for VR
