Spatial Computing, Scoble

Thanks Walt








What "Spatial Computing" Needs is a tiny LiDAR unit with 17+ Million PPS resolution.



We have that.

There is a new paradigm coming. It will arrive in full force by 2025.
It is Spatial Computing.
Computing that you, a robot, or a virtual being, can move through.
Some think it's ambient computing. That's a piece. Some think it's augmented reality. That's a piece. Some think it's virtual reality. That's a piece. Those all fit under the spatial computing tent.
We can feel it when we go into an Amazon Go store where hundreds of cameras and sensors are watching our every move.
We can feel it when we put on a Microsoft HoloLens and move virtual factories around with our bare hands. No mouse needed.
We can feel it when we look at the new Samsung Note 10 phones that have a 3D sensor with hundreds of thousands of data points. That lets your phone do augmented reality that is pretty mind blowing, actually.
We can feel it when we see surgeries being prepared for, and done, with augmented reality glasses (and I know of one, coming, that even saves surgeons' own lives).
We can feel it when we see robots delivering things in Las Vegas hotels.
We can feel it when we see a self-driving car whiz past while we sit in a Mountain View cafe. Or, when you let a Tesla drive you, like I do every day.
We can feel it when Merge Labs announces they have sold a million augmented reality cubes, mostly to teachers who are starting to teach in a new way.
We can feel it when we talk to the founder of Sketchfab and he shows us his stats are going up exponentially, now with millions of 3D models in his search engine.
