I’ve been thinking a lot about spatial computing lately. It’s easy to get caught up in the futuristic demos, the sleek headsets, the promises of immersive worlds. But those things feel…distant. I'm more interested in the quiet ways it might slowly become woven into the fabric of everyday life.

It’s not about escaping reality. It's about subtly augmenting it. Imagine walking into your kitchen and recipes aren’t on a phone propped precariously against the cabinet, but gently overlaid onto your countertop. Or picturing furniture appearing in your living room before you even lift a finger to order it. It’s less a virtual world and more like having a helpful assistant who understands where you are and what you’re doing.

I think the biggest shift will be in how we interact with information. We're so used to looking at screens. Spatial computing allows information to exist around us. This feels fundamentally different. Less disruptive. Less attention-grabbing. More natural. Forget pulling out your phone constantly. The world will gradually become more responsive to you, delivering contextually relevant information without you having to ask.

There’s understandably skepticism. Concerns about privacy, cost, and just general clunkiness are valid. But tech tends to shrink and become less intrusive over time. And the potential benefits—aid for people with disabilities, more intuitive learning experiences, a more seamless blend of physical and digital worlds—are hard to ignore. It's not about replacing human connection; it's about freeing us from some of the tedious tasks and distractions of modern life so we can focus on what truly matters. I'm not saying it will be perfect. Just…different. And maybe, surprisingly useful.
