Introduction: Why AI assistants and spatial computing make a winning pair today
This guide quickly answers a key question:How can I use AI assistants to create engaging and valuable spatial experiences today? You’ll find practical prompts, tool recommendations, and a step-by-step workflow that you can copy and modify immediately.
What is spatial computing and why is it important for AI assistants
Spatial computing refers to any technology that captures, processes, or presents information in a 3D context. Examples include:
- AR glasses that overlay digital information onto the real world
- Depth-based simulations for robotics and autonomous vehicles
- Games and virtual environments with realistic spatial interaction
- Real-time industrial inspections via drones with 3D mapping
When an AI assistant is integrated into this stack, it can:
- Interpret visual feeds and suggest contextual actions
- Generate 3D assets (models, animations, interaction scripts)
- Create interactive experiences driven by prompts
- Optimize location-based decision-making processes
Current trends driving this convergence
The latest versions of foundational models in 2026 have made this possible:
- G Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
- GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and Sunburst
- Inkling 2 Small
How to create AR/3D prompts using AI assistants
The key is to keep the prompt explicit about coordinates, orientation, and detail level. Here’s a reusable ADMIN template:
[[Role]]
You are an AI assistant specialized in creating AR/3D content for developers.
[[Goal]]
Generate a realistic 3D scene positioned in a 5x5 meter indoor environment.
[[Input]]
- Camera position: (0, 1.6, -3)
- View angle: 45 degrees
- Lighting: daylight with soft reflections
- Style: low-poly style, 30,000 triangles
[[Output]]
- JSON description of the scene with vertex coordinates
- Prompt for rendering engine (e.g. Unity, Three.js)
- Asset optimization tip
[[Prompt]]
Create a scene that includes a desk, a plant, and a holographic display. Ensure each object respects the polygon budget and provides exact coordinates."You can adapt this template for:
- Generating spatial videos with Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
- Creating GIF icons for HUDs with GPT-Image-2.6 Flare
- Calculating trajectories with Inkling 2 Small
Code example: LangChain-style AI assistant pipeline
import { ChatOpenAI } from "langchain/chat_models";
import { StructuredTool } from "langchain/tools";
import { z } from "zod";
// Schema for spatial output
const SceneSchema = z.object({
objects: z.array(z.object({
name: z.string(),
vertices: z.array(z.array(z.number())).length(3),
position: z.tuple([z.number(), z.number(), z.number()]),
rotation: z.tuple([z.number(), z.number(), z.number()]),
})),
});
// Tool that calls Gemini to generate scenes
const generateSceneTool = new StructuredTool({
name: "generateScene",
description: "Generates a 3D scene based on spatial prompts",
schema: z.object({
prompt: z.string(),
cameraPos: z.array(z.number()).length(3),
}),
func: async ({ prompt, cameraPos }) => {
const gemini = new ChatOpenAI({ modelName: "GeminiOmniFlash", temperature: 0.2 });
const res = await gemini.invoke(prompt);
return JSON.parse(res.text); // Assuming Gemini returns JSON
},
});
// Tool that calls GPT-Image-2.6 for icons
const genIconTool = new StructuredTool({
name: "generateIcon",
description: "Generates 3D icons in GIF style",
schema: z.object({ description: z.string() }),
func: async ({ description }) => {
const gptImage = new ChatOpenAI({ modelName: "GPTImageFlare", temperature: 0.5 });
const res = await gptImage.invoke(`Create a ${description} icon in GIF style`);
return res.text; // Icon URL
},
});
// Chain for complete workflow
const chain = await SequentialChain.fromPrompts([
{ input: "userRequest", output: "sceneData" },
{ input: "sceneData", output: "iconUrl" },
]);Which tool to choose for which task
| Task | Recommended model | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Rapid spatial video generation (e.g. AR previews) | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash | 15 seconds at $0.07, multi-turn editing, ideal for prototyping |
| 3D icons and HUDs in GIF style | GPT-Image-2.6 Flare/Sunburst | SVG export, 6-second generation, perfect for lightweight assets |
| Complex trajectory calculation and reasoning | Inkling 2 Small (MoE) | 594B parameters, 17B active, high speed, excels in spatial optimization |
When to use which techniques: a decision matrix
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash (15-second video)
- GPT-Image-2.6 Flare (GIF/SVG)
- Inkling 2 Small (trajectories, planning)
- Combine all three: use Gemini for visualization, Flare for icons, Inkling for reasoning.
Why the combination of spatial computing and AI assistants works in 2026
The convergence is driven by three forces:
- Smarter hardware.New AR headsets integrate high-resolution sensors and edge chips that can run MoE models locally.
- Affordable multimodal AI.Pricing for video and image per second has dropped to levels that make A/B testing economically feasible.
- Prompt engineering pipelines.Developers now have proven prompt schemas that balance accuracy and cost.
As a result, teams can go from "concept" to working prototype in less than 24 hours, a pace that was impossible just five years ago.
Workflow example: Creating an AR remote assistance experience
Phase 1: Capture the scenario.Use an AR headset powered by Inkling 2 Small to identify objects and generate a 3D point cloud.
Phase 2: Design the scene.Send a structured request to the assistant (see previous template) to position a holographic dashboard and workbench.
Phase 3: Generate the video.Convert the dashboard into a 15-second video using Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash. This video can be streamed to the user's device.
Phase 4: Add icons.Generate GIF icons with GPT-Image-2.6 Flare for interaction buttons.
Phase 5: Assemble.Unify assets via a rendering engine (Unity or Three.js) and deploy via the cloud.
The entire pipeline can be scripted in less than 30 lines of code using the LangChain libraries and tools defined above.
Key takeaway
- Use a structured prompt that always includes coordinates, budget, and style.
- Choose the model based on speed, cost, and complexity: Gemini for video, Flare for icons, Inkling for reasoning.
- Test the LangChain workflow above to unify tools into a single flow.
- Keep costs low: current video and image pricing makes iterative testing affordable.
