Shaping New Realities: A Hands-On Introduction to Spatial Computing
Oct 28, 2025

About
We are moving beyond the era of flat screens into a new, immersive paradigm: spatial computing. This transformative shift, where digital content is seamlessly woven into our physical world, requires a fundamentally new approach to design. But how do we create intuitive, useful, and magical experiences when the world itself becomes our canvas?
This intensive three-hour workshop is your hands-on introduction to this exciting frontier. We will begin by establishing the core principles of spatial design — from managing user attention and comfort to creating intuitive interactions with our eyes, hands, and voice. Following this, you will experience the power of spatial computing firsthand with a guided demo on the Apple Vision Pro, providing tangible context for the theories discussed.
Finally, you will apply your newfound knowledge in a dynamic co-design sprint. Working in small teams, you will ideate and storyboard a concept for a unique spatial experience. Participants will leave with a foundational understanding of spatial computing, direct experience with a category-defining device, and a practical framework for designing in three dimensions. This workshop is ideal for designers, developers, product managers, and creative thinkers eager to build the future of human-computer interaction.
