Once you start to have these devices that are scanning the physical world in real time

you start to create what I call large vision models models of the physical world

right that understand our world and are updated almost in real time.

That's where it starts to get really interesting and a little scary.

From a privacy perspective, I'll be honest. perspective I'm

Mary Long and that's Kathy Hackle a futurist author and an Apple Vision Pro developer

teacher Willard caught up with HackL for a conversation about spatial computing.

They discuss how this technology could change meetings, manufacturing, and remodeling a kitchen,

what the beginning of mobile can teach us about this computing revolution and the difference

between the technology and value in the Apple Vision Pro.

Let's talk about spatial computing. This is all about the Vision Pro.

Apple wants us to believe this is the future of how we interact with technology.

What's your take?

So I want to start by saying that I think we need to take a step back from, we're going to talk about the hype of course,

but not frame the conversation of spatial computing,

and this is why, because when you start to think about spatial computing,

I think a lot of people are thinking of it in the context of only the Apple Vision

Pro or, you know, some people might use it interchangeably with the word mixed reality.

I am of a different mindset right? I don't think that this is the same just like the internet is not the same

as our mobile phone. I don't think special computing is the same as one single device or one single technology.

So what I mean by that is that spatial computing is an evolving form of computing that is 3D-centric and that uses technologies like AI,

computer vision, mixed reality, and other technologies to blend virtual experiences in someone's experience of the physical world,
