Problem
People visiting historical sites often receive only static information, which fails to create an immersive sense of presence or personal interaction with the past. Traditional tours and signage cannot convey the lived experience of a location, limiting engagement and retention of cultural heritage.
Solution
Superspatial offers a Spatial AI platform that delivers real‑time, augmented‑reality experiences of historical sites. By leveraging edge inference, generative‑AI characters, and consumer AR glasses, the system reconstructs accurate virtual environments and lifelike historical figures that users can converse with on location. The platform runs locally on edge devices, enabling low‑latency interaction without reliance on cloud connectivity. Content is anchored to precise physical coordinates, so users feel as if they are standing alongside historical figures who respond to natural language queries. The technology is currently demonstrated as an alpha prototype at UC Berkeley’s Sather Tower, showcasing the feasibility of outdoor, location‑based AR storytelling.
Target Audience
Primary customers are cultural heritage institutions, museums, and tourism operators that seek immersive, on‑site AR experiences to enhance visitor engagement at historic landmarks.
