A split-screen figure shows a cross-reality collaborative space in Spatialstrates. The left side presents a first-person augmented reality (AR) view in a physical room, where a user interacts with floating 3D molecular structures, sticky notes, and analytics panels. A blue cursor line on a red sticky note represents a remote collaborator's position in 2D. The right side displays the same space in a 2D desktop interface, where 3D objects are flattened into a 2D layout: sticky notes and the analytics elements are having a very similar appearance compared to in 3D. The molecules have a different representation, displaying a table of atoms in the molecule instead. Black avatar icons indicate the projected position of the AR user's headset and controllers. The mouse cursor rests on the red sticky note.
Next week I’ll be at ACM UIST 2025 in Busan, South Korea, where @maski89.bsky.social will be presenting our work on Spatialstrates. In this project, we address the gap between everyday laptop-based computing and immersive experiences with augmented or virtual reality headsets.
