Imagining the future of personalised augmented reality

Exploring the intersection of spatial computing and machine learning

The potential of spatial computing and machine learning is boundless, sparking our imagination about future possibilities. Many forward thinking organisations are already experimenting and using these technologies to stay competitive, but what might that actually look like in practice? Here, I have explored designed and prototyped some hypothetical use cases that perfectly blend spatial computing and machine learning.

VIRTUAL KITCHEN EXPERIENCE

Visualise entering a virtual kitchen where all your regular purchases are laid out before you. This environment could provide information on ingredient provenance, pairing suggestions, and nutrient or allergen profiles. Additionally, an ‘inspiration’ room could recommend dishes and recipes based on your buying history, personal preferences, and current fridge contents.

PERSONALISED CELEBRITY TRAINER

Imagine a generated celebrity personal trainer, custom-trained with your health data, motivating you during workouts. This virtual trainer could adapt exercises in real-time using your heart rate data, considering your available space and equipment. This innovation would be a first-of-its-kind: a truly personalised virtual personal trainer.

AUGMENTED REALITY HEADS-UP DISPLAY FOR CARS

Consider an augmented reality head-up display in your car, projecting safety alerts and navigation aids directly onto the road-scape. Taking it a step further, what if this system could monitor your driving style, offering live driving tips and post-trip safety advice based on your performance? Insurers would undoubtedly find value in such a feature.

LASTING THOUGHTS

The horizon of spatial computing and machine learning is boundless, and these prototypes offer a glimpse into this transformative potential. These innovations are not merely speculative; they represent a tangible future where the digital and physical realms seamlessly integrate to enhance our daily lives in profound ways.
