'''Spatial mapping''', also known as '''3D reconstruction''' in some contexts, is a core technology that enables a device to create a three-dimensional (3D) digital model of its physical environment in real-time.<ref name="StereolabsDocsS2">{{cite web |url=https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/spatial-mapping |title=Spatial Mapping Overview |publisher=Stereolabs |access-date=2025-10-23}}</ref><ref name="ZaubarLexicon">{{cite web |url=https://about.zaubar.com/en/xr-ai-lexicon/spatial-mapping |title=Spatial Mapping |publisher=Zaubar |access-date=2025-10-23}}</ref> It is a fundamental component of [[augmented reality]] (AR), [[virtual reality]] (VR), [[mixed reality]] (MR), and [[robotics]], allowing systems to perceive, understand, and interact with the physical world.<ref name="StereolabsDocsS1">{{cite web |url=https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/spatial-mapping |title=Spatial Mapping Overview |publisher=Stereolabs |access-date=2025-10-23}}</ref><ref name="EducativeIO" | '''Spatial mapping''', also known as '''3D reconstruction''' in some contexts, is a core technology that enables a device to create a three-dimensional (3D) digital model of its physical environment in real-time.<ref name="StereolabsDocsS2">{{cite web |url=https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/spatial-mapping |title=Spatial Mapping Overview |publisher=Stereolabs |access-date=2025-10-23}}</ref><ref name="ZaubarLexicon">{{cite web |url=https://about.zaubar.com/en/xr-ai-lexicon/spatial-mapping |title=Spatial Mapping |publisher=Zaubar |access-date=2025-10-23}}</ref> It is a fundamental component of [[augmented reality]] (AR), [[virtual reality]] (VR), [[mixed reality]] (MR), and [[robotics]], allowing systems to perceive, understand, and interact with the physical world.<ref name="StereolabsDocsS1">{{cite web |url=https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/spatial-mapping |title=Spatial Mapping Overview |publisher=Stereolabs |access-date=2025-10-23}}</ref><ref name="EducativeIO"/> By creating a detailed digital map of surfaces, objects, and their spatial relationships, spatial mapping serves as the technological bridge between the digital and physical realms, allowing for the realistic blending of virtual and real worlds.<ref name="StereolabsDocsS1"/> | ||
