Meta

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is a leading technology company at the forefront of advancements in spatial computing. Spatial computing is an emerging technology that blends the digital and physical worlds, enabling users to interact with digital information and objects in a spatial, three-dimensional context. Meta’s innovations in this field can transform how we perceive and interact with the digital realm. One of Meta’s most notable products in the spatial computing space is the Oculus VR headset, which provides a high-quality virtual reality experience for gaming and other applications. In addition, they are working on augmented reality (AR) glasses, which can overlay digital information onto the physical world, enhancing the user’s everyday experiences. Meta’s spatial computing advancements extend to developing AI-driven technologies that enable realistic simulations and interactive 3D environments. These technologies can potentially revolutionize fields such as education, healthcare, remote work, and entertainment, offering new ways to learn, work, and connect in a digital landscape. In December 2021, Meta launched a closed beta for a simplified AR creation tool called ‘Spark AR Go.’ Meta announced the distribution of its ‘Spark Augmented Reality (AR) Go’ mobile application as a beta version for Android and iOS smartphones. Meta built the mobile application to accompany its spark AR Studio Software Development Kit (SDK). This powerful tool enabled webAR effects and 3D content in its line-up of social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.
