White Papers

Early thinking about Spatial Computing and Collaboration between Agents.

These are working papers from the early days of spatial computing — published here in full, dated as written:

• The 2017 Multiuser Ecosystem framework anticipated the presenter/participant models that VR collaboration tools shipped years later;
• The 2020 Spatial OS model maps the seven layers an operating system for ambient computing has to account for, from user agency to the AR cloud.

Both are readable right on the page — no download required — with print-ready PDFs available inside.

Prefer to interrogate the ideas instead of reading them? My AI agent has both papers in its knowledge base.
