Bas van de Poel – Spatial Computing
“At some point we might not refer to augmented reality anymore but instead just refer to reality.”
Bas van de Poel dives into the different definitions of the metaverse that exist today and why he believes the next big paradigm will be spatial computing, where the environment becomes the interface. He details the transition of AR from being used a lot for entertainment to becoming more utilitarian in its application. Bas shows examples of projects at the forefront of AR development, including a range of interesting projects he’s worked on recently. He closes by speculating on the concept of “reality channels” - people having different views of the same physical location using AR - and how future AR developments may influence changes in digital zoning laws.
