In computing, the world is flat, as we typically consume information on 2D displays. But now, with smart glasses and the advent of spatial computing, a new paradigm is dawning, Nina Matzat and Maik Kähler, co-founders of Plan.Net Studios, argue.
Their DLD24 presentation explores the the role of intution, the way the human brain processes information and the impact of immersive experiences.
“What spatial experiences do for us is, they allow us to intuitively navigate and subconsciously consume massive amounts of information”, Kähler observes.
Take travel as an example, he says: nothing will be as impressive as experiencing another place in virtual reality. “We can watch videos about London, we can listen to podcasts about London or we could actually be in London.”
The power of spatial computing extends to many other domains as well, the experts believe – including education, communication and marketing.
