Spatials AI Glossary
Definitions for spatial AI, spatial computing, spatial GPS, VR and AR spatials, world models, and geospatial analytics.
Spatial Query A Spatial Query is any database or API request that filters, aggregates, or joins data based on geometry, distance, containment, or adjacency. Examples include …
Spatial Robotics Spatial Robotics covers robots and autonomous machines that rely on Spatial AI to perceive, map, and act in the world. Examples include warehouse AMRs, cleaning …
Spatial Safety Zones Spatial Safety Zones are Spatials that encode safety-related policies: restricted areas around machines, evacuation routes, crowd-limited regions, or …
Spatial SDK A Spatial SDK is a set of developer tools, libraries, and components for building apps that use Spatial AI, Spatials, and Spatial prompts. It typically includes APIs …
Spatial Simulation Spatial Simulation uses VR Spatials and world models to virtually replay or forecast how people, vehicles, robots, or fluids move through environments. …
Spatial UX Design Spatial UX Design is the practice of designing user experiences that unfold in 3D space rather than on flat screens. Spatial UX designers think in terms of …
Spatials Spatials are space-aware digital entities-objects, zones, or agents that exist inside a mapped 3D environment and respond intelligently to location, movement, and context. …
Visual Positioning System (VPS) A Visual Positioning System (VPS) is a Spatial localization technique that uses computer vision instead of, or in addition to, GNSS signals. By …
VR Spatials VR Spatials are space-aware entities that live inside virtual reality environments, often mirroring the geometry of real-world spaces. A VR Spatial might be a machine …
World Models World Models are AI systems that learn not only what an environment looks like but how it behaves over time. In Spatial AI, world models simulate flows of people, …
