<li>Spatial computing represents computing in the third dimension, evolving from manual inputs to capturing and recreating real-world environments.</li>
<li>AR is technically more challenging than VR because it must understand and integrate with the environment rather than simply replace it.</li>
<li>Meta (Facebook) is currently the main player investing heavily in VR/AR, while other tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Google are taking more measured approaches.</li>
<li>Training and education are viewed as the most promising VR applications due to improved retention through 3D learning experiences.</li>
<li>The concept of a single unified metaverse faces significant challenges due to existing business models and the siloed nature of current platforms.</li>
<li>Digital replicas of physical objects represent one of the few remaining "white spaces" for startup opportunities in the spatial computing market.</li>
<li>Qualcomm is emerging as a significant player through their development of XR-specific chips and industry consortium building.</li>
<li>Gaming has replaced music as the primary cultural touchstone for younger generations, indicating a broader shift toward digital experiences.</li>
<li>The ultimate vision for spatial computing is to transform education and enable more natural human-technology interactions.</li>
