AI: Summary In this meeting the participants discussed concepts for spatial computing interfaces, focusing on “frames” and “rings” as interaction metaphors. Frode Hegland introduced the concept of frames as 2D containers in XR that could be positioned on virtual “walls” and would maintain their position when switching between VR and AR environments. Fabien Bénétou demonstrated… Continue reading 30 April 2025 (Dev)
