History
Spatial was co-founded by Anand Agarawala and Jinha Lee in 2017.[4][5][6] The company designed its first product, the Spatial AR collaboration workspace, intended to transform how people work by turning any room into an infinitely augmentable workspace.[7]
In 2019, Spatial entered into a partnership with Microsoft to develop workplace software for the HoloLens AR headset. The following year, it released a collaboration and hangout app that ran on Meta's Quest 2 VR headset. In 2021, Spatial pivoted to building virtual showrooms for NFTs.[2][4]
Spatial has collaborated with various artists, including Hermitage, NBA, !llmind, Krista Kim,[8] Federico Clapis, and Jarlan Perez.[9] In March 2023, Spatial partnered with OVER, Decentraland, and UNXD at the second edition for Metaverse Fashion Week.
In November 2023, Spatial announced the launch of a new season of in-house games available to play on web, mobile, and VR.[10]
Spatial has released several browser-based games on its platform, including Punch Hero, Racing Empire, Infinite Ascent, Shooty Shooty,[1] Mostly Only Up, Buddy Blitz, and Cyber Punk.[4][10]
