In this episode of Spatial Experience Design, Brian Parks and Søren Vasø revisit the evolution of mapping technology, starting from static 2D CAD files to immersive 4D spatial experiences. They highlight the shift from administrative uses to user-centered applications in workplaces, stadiums, and retail spaces, emphasizing how aesthetics, accessibility, and interactivity have become central to digital building experiences. We explore the role of AI, mobile devices, and georeferenced data in shaping frictionless user experiences. They also explore the transformative potential of spatial intelligence in augmented and virtual reality, showcasing how digital maps are now platforms for dynamic, context-rich interactions.
