Overview of this book

What is Spatial Computing and why is everyone from Tesla, Apple, and Meta investing heavily in it? Irena Cronin and Robert Scoble answer that question to help you understand where Spatial Computing - an augmented reality where humans and machines can interact in a physical space - came from, where it's going, and why it's so fundamentally different from the computers or mobile phones that came before. They present seven visions of the future and the industry verticals in which Spatial Computing has the most influence - Transportation; Technology, Media, and Telecommunications; Manufacturing; Retail; Healthcare; Finance; and Education. The book also shares insights from leading experts, industry veterans and innovators, including Sebastian Thrun, Ken Bretschneider, and Hugo Swart. They dive into what they think will happen in the medium term and what it could mean for humanity in the long term. This new second edition has many substantial updates, including two new chapters on the relevance of Generative AI to Spatial Computing and a new chapter on the impact of the Apple Vision Pro. Each existing chapter has been updated to have the most current information and commentary.

Data Dance with Seven Verticals

We’ll present here some visions of how the intersection of data collection with machine learning and 3D visualization will benefit the seven verticals that we have been addressing in this book: Transportation; Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT); Manufacturing; Retail; Healthcare; Finance; and Education. Let’s begin by getting into how the world of transportation is set to change due to the influx of data, and our increasing capacity to utilize and learn from it.

Transportation

When you need transportation, you’ll see that tons will have changed by 2030. Your Spatial Computing glasses will radically change the way you approach transport. These changes will be bigger than the ones that Uber, Lyft, and Didi brought as they enabled people to order a ride on their new mobile phones. Uber is worth looking back at because we believe transportation, even the vehicle that sits on your own driveway, will act and work...
