AI: Public Meeting Summary Report
Parametric Design in Spatial Computing
A detailed presentation and demonstration of bit by bit dev, a web platform for parametric 3D design that integrates with game engines. The platform enables creation of adaptive 3D models that respond to user input, with applications ranging from architectural design to interactive spatial interfaces.
Knowledge Representation
Discussion of how to represent and interact with knowledge objects in spatial computing environments, with focus on terminology and interface paradigms that work across both 2D and 3D contexts.
Technical Implementation
Exploration of computational geometry, WebXR implementation considerations, and the challenges of maintaining performance while providing rich interactive experiences in spatial computing environments.
Future Implications
Analysis of how parametric design tools could influence the future of spatial computing interfaces and knowledge representation, with emphasis on maintaining human-readable interfaces while pushing technical boundaries.
