Spatial launches augmented reality workspaces app for mobile
Spatial Systems Inc., a holographic collaboration platform for augmented reality and virtual reality, today announced a native AR app for iOS and Android that runs on almost any current generation of mobile device.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in Spatial’s platform has exploded as an alternative to tools such as Zoom, with usage up over 130 times from before 2019, and now more than a million meetings have been joined. With hundreds of hours spent in Spatial each day, this trend is accelerating, but remote access to AR/VR headsets remains a barrier to many consumers because of expense and availability.
However, billions of AR-enabled smartphones are on the market today, and Spatial makes use of advances in ARKit and ARCore on iOS and Android to take advantage of this to make AR and VR more accessible to everyday people.
In that time, Spatial launched on the Oculus Quest store and introduced an auditorium environment, a VR space that can seat more than 40 people at once for collaboration as if they were in a lecture hall.
Spatial is now live for iOS and Android.
