Spatial intelligence and multimodal AI models are transforming the way we design user experiences in Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), eXtended Reality (XR) / spatial computing environments. In the past, there were many incomplete design paradigms and limited data manipulation capabilities and embodied reality was limited. Recent developments have created smarter, more interactive UX for users. Many future technologies leverage AI which improve usability, and privacy concerns can also become challenging.

Further advancements in user interaction multimodal inputs like text, speech, and gestures are finally changing the way we see data visualized and offer more direct and new ways for direct manipulation and interacting with information. With the advent of AI foundation models, we begin to see new forms of telepresence, world generation, and collaboration.

As the cost of compute continues to drop, we can expect more startups and platforms to push the boundaries of how we create and interact with immersive experiences. These advances lower the barrier to entry for software engineers, creators, and end users enabling more innovative and collaborative applications that redefine our understanding of computing.

This talk will explore how the multidimensionality of these technologies create rich, layered experiences and applications, more specifically how we create XR with AI and how each of these technologies intersect. From integration of multiple sensory inputs (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), data types (text, images, video, 3D models) in interactive dimensions (2D interfaces, 3D environments, gestures, voice) are shaping how we create the next generation of user experiences and applications in spatial computing / AR VR MR XR.
