Speculative Spatial Design Canvas

We are thrilled to announce the release of Version 1.8, a significant update that revolutionizes how educators, developers, and designers engage with Spatial Computing.

This pivotal update introduces groundbreaking advancements to the Spatial Enablers Framework and the Spatial Computing Education Matrix, empowering you to unlock new immersive learning and design dimensions.

Speculative Spatial Design Canvas

Layout guide and design tool for spatial app and game development.The Speculative Spatial Design Canvas is a comprehensive framework that guides developers in creating immersive, user-friendly spatial computing experiences across various applications, from gaming to medical fields. Grounded in data-driven principles and Neuroergonomics, the canvas addresses critical challenges such as cyber sickness and fatigue. By helping developers outline spatial relationships and optimize interaction dynamics, the canvas facilitates the creation of environments that prioritize user comfort, engagement, and awareness. The best way to experience the canvas is by printing it out and crafting your ideas with your own hands.Since the release of Apple Vision Pro in February 2024, we have been proud to support developers with this tool, which seamlessly integrates with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) as a third-party resource. Rooted in the principles of data-driven design, the Speculative Spatial Design Canvas is a guiding beacon for developers, empowering them to craft immersive and user-friendly experiences while mitigating potential challenges, such as cybersickness and fatigue.By delineating spatial relationships and optimizing interaction dynamics, this canvas facilitates the creation of environments that prioritize user comfort and engagement.Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.
