AWS Spatial Computing Blog

Introduction In this post, I demonstrate how to create and visualize an orthomosaic from aerial images using a technique called orthophotography. This is done through the use of OpenDroneMap (ODM), QGIS, and DroneYard. ODM is a software toolkit for processing aerial imagery and creating 3D models, maps and other geospatial products. QGIS, a Geographic Information […]

Simulated City, courtesy of Duality.ai. Built with Unreal Engine 5. Powered by AWS SimSpace Weaver New Feature AWS SimSpace Weaver has introduced a new feature to enable taking a simulation “snapshot”, which is a full state capture of all the simulated entities at a moment in time. This feature allows customers to backup and restore […]

NVIDIA Omniverse is a revolutionary platform, which allows creators and organizations to collaborate in real-time on 3D designs and simulations. It offers a wide range of integrations and tools to enable teams to work together, and to bring their ideas to life. One of the fundamental aspects of NVIDIA Omniverse is the ability to author […]

Epic Games, Toyota, and Volkswagen Group are building powerful solutions to deliver hyper realistic game experiences and advance autonomous driving capabilities on AWS.

Defining spatial computing During his 2022 re:Invent conference keynote, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels said that “3D will soon be as pervasive as video” and that “3D technology has permeated our world.”  My spatial computing colleagues and I at Amazon Web Services (AWS) were excited to hear this, given how much each of our careers has […]

BUILD, DELIVER, MANAGE BLOG SERIES: BUILD Introduction Amazon Web Services (AWS) enterprise customers are using the cloud to build immersive spatial experiences. As an AWS Spatial Prototyping Lead, my team works backwards with these customers to identify spatial challenges (enterprise augmented reality, virtual reality, metaverse, and 3D technology) and resolve those challenges using the cloud. […]

BUILD, DELIVER, MANAGE BLOG SERIES: DELIVER Imagine putting on your Virtual Reality (VR) headset and communicating with people from around the world, who natively speak French, Japanese and Thai, without a human translator. What if a fledgling start-up could now easily expand their product across borders and into new geographical markets by offering fluid, accurate, […]

BUILD, DELIVER, MANAGE BLOG SERIES: MANAGE Introduction: Today, we are excited to announce the open-source launch of Visual Asset Management System (VAMS) solution. VAMS enables organizations to store, transform, and view their 3D assets in the cloud. Customers can integrate with VAMS using any capabilities of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to meet the challenges posed […]

BUILD, DELIVER, MANAGE BLOG SERIES: BUILD Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) are seeing explosive growth. Together referred to as Extended Reality (XR), AR and VR are gaining interest from consumers and developers alike; with a report from Omdia estimating that consumer spend on VR content will be worth $7.5 billion […]

Introduction The Spatial Computing blog channel will categorize future blog posts into three key topics: Build, Deliver, and Manage. This is to address the common elements that Spatial Computing applications undergo throughout their life cycle. What is Spatial Computing? We define Spatial Computing as the potential digitization (or virtualization, or digital twin) of all objects, […]
