Trends in product design: Spatial computing will change design forever
As the idea of the Metaverse, or a shared online social space, takes hold, product designers are being freed from the constraints of the real world. With companies developing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications, everything from homes to clothing can get a virtual makeover.
