OK, we may have all gotten a little too excited about Spatial computing in 2024.
Ill certainly admit that I did.
And you could see it in everything thats happening.
So what is it going to take to make spatial computing a thing?
Well, as the headline suggests, a lot more time is needed for this to cook.
What actually is spatial computing?
Everybody seems to be throwing this term around from grand visions to small gains.
Let me sum it all up in one simple sentence.
Spatial computing is to be able to get things done in a mixed reality space.
That means not tethering to any other devices, and the app ecosystem and performance on-board to be productive.
And probably unintentionally, Google perfectly explained the reason why in its recentAndroid XRvideo reveal.
…Did you hear it?
At the moment, devices that are capable of doing this are episodic products.
Now its more about projecting your machine screen on a larger external monitor in augmented reality.
Dont get me wrong, the experience is great.
But its not the full thing.
The truth is we are moving towards this.
But these all require workarounds that dont put the computational power in the actual glasses.
