From Flatland to Spaceland • Rafał Legiędź • Devoxx Poland 2021

For decades we've been digitalizing almost all aspect of the physical world: text, images, objects, machines, wellness statistic and even social interactions. We're accumulating incredible amounts of data with unimaginable pace. Yet, whenever we want to convey digital information, we trust on its 2D projection, whereas humans think and reason spatially.
With a emergence of AR technologies, we can break through flat screens and start projecting 3D content into the planet around us. But regardless of display technology, how do we place content spatially and contextually on objects and locations? How do we enable it to be persistent and so experienced by multiple parties?
In this talk, you'll get to know how tech companies like Microsoft (Azure Spatial Anchors, Azure Digital Twins), Google (Cloud Anchors) or Facebook (LiveMaps) are attempting to make a digital duplicate of the world. You'll see possible applications and will be presented with a set of tools you could leverage to start bridging the gap between digital and real.
Let's start painting the planet with data!
