## FAQ

**What is Spatial AI and how does it help my company?**
Spatial AI combines artificial intelligence, 3D visualization, and real-time data directly in the work context. The result: fewer errors, faster decisions, shorter onboarding, and better quality on-site — on smart glasses, headsets, or mobile devices.

**What devices do your solutions run on?**
We work device-agnostically: Android XR, visionOS, RealWear, smart glasses, as well as smartphones and tablets. Existing HoloLens installations are of course continued to be supported. The choice depends on the use case.

**How does a typical project work?**
In three steps: Discover (ROI case, data sources, device fit), Pilot (8–12 weeks, one use case, one team), and Scale (product module, integration, rollout). We always start with a workshop to define the optimal scope.

**Can I spatially extend existing apps instead of starting from scratch?**
Yes — our Existing App Uplift spatializes existing mobile or web workflows step by step. This way you leverage existing investments and iteratively extend to smart glasses or headsets without a complete rebuild.
