Stunad Spatial
Exploring point clouds as a primary medium for spatial computation and XR workflows
Overview
Stunad Spatial is a research-driven exploration focused on treating point cloud data as a primary design and computation medium rather than merely an intermediate step toward mesh generation.
The project investigates how raw spatial scans can be structured, filtered, and manipulated in real time to support interactive design tools and spatial computing workflows.
Core Focus
- Large-scale point clouds
- Spatial data structuring
- Performance optimization
- Real-time interaction
- XR System Integration
Approach
Instead of immediately converting point clouds into meshes, the project treats point data as first-class geometry. Operations such as filtering, clustering, sampling, and spatial querying are performed directly on the point data, allowing greater flexibility when working with scanned environments.
Current Status
Stunad Spatial is an ongoing experimental research project exploring performance limits, spatial indexing strategies, and interaction models for real-time point cloud environments. The work serves as a foundation for future tools aimed at XR design workflows and spatial computing systems.
Why It Matters
Point clouds are rapidly becoming a fundamental component of spatial computing, digital twins, and XR pipelines. By treating spatial data as a computational medium rather than simply visual output, this project explores new possibilities for how designers and engineers interact with the physical world through digital tools.
