Spatial computing · In development
We’re building a geospatial computing platform that connects geographic data, real-time intelligence, and lightweight spatial interfaces—helping people understand and navigate the world around them.
Maximum understanding. Minimum visual intrusion.
01 — A different approach
Most digital interfaces demand our attention. We believe spatial computing should do the opposite.
By connecting real-world geography with relevant information, Plumbline enables interfaces that communicate through minimal directional cues, contextual labels, and precise spatial references. The result is situational awareness without visual overload.
02 — Applications
Three initial areas where we are applying the platform.
A.1 Field Operations
Connect geographic positioning with equipment telemetry, asset records, and site information — helping field personnel identify equipment and access relevant context while staying focused on their surroundings.
A.2 Outdoor Exploration
Connect terrain, trails, geographic landmarks, and navigation information to lightweight spatial displays.
A.3 Connected Teams
Enable distributed teams to share positions, routes, observations, and contextual information.
03 — Technology
01 EARTH REGISTRATION
Connecting device orientation and position to geographic coordinates.
02 GEOSPATIAL DATA
Transforming terrain, maps, and geographic information into efficient representations for field devices.
03 SPATIAL INTENT
Allowing users to identify places and objects through pointing, orientation, and contextual interaction.
04 REAL-TIME INTELLIGENCE
Connecting geographic entities with operational data, sensor observations, and AI-assisted information retrieval.
05 MINIMAL INTERFACES
Presenting only the most useful information through carefully designed spatial indicators.
04 — Built for the field
Our approach begins with real environments and practical workflows—from mountain terrain to active construction sites.
We are developing and testing the foundational technology using currently available lightweight XR hardware, with an architecture intended to evolve alongside new devices, sensors, and computing platforms.
The objective is not a demonstration that looks impressive once. It is technology that becomes useful enough to use repeatedly.
05 — Our direction
A technology direction, not a schedule of releases.
Stage 1
Understanding location, direction, terrain, and nearby geographic features.
Stage 2
Identifying physical objects and retrieving relevant information.
Stage 3
Sharing spatial awareness among people, assets, and systems.
Stage 4
Combining observations, geographic data, and computation across field devices and networks.
06 — Contact
We’re interested in conversations with technology partners, hardware developers, construction and field-operations organizations, geospatial specialists, and people who see the potential for a more useful kind of spatial computing.
