187: Spatial computing and what it means for micromobility with Horace Dediu

This week we have been in Amsterdam at our Micromobility Europe conference and Oliver had the chance to sit down with Horace who had just flown in from seeing the Apple vision pro at the WWDC unveil.

We have talked on the show for years about how augmented reality would benefit micromobility, and so we wanted to take this opportunity to unpack a little bit more about what he saw, the idea of special computing, and how it could impact how we think about Mobility.

We had an amazing show – our biggest yet, with more than 60 startups pitching in our award series and the most incredible bike rave at the end through the streets of Amsterdam with DJ Dom Whiting.

We’ll be sharing more content over the coming weeks but in the meantime, thank you to all who attended and hope that you had a blast.

We certainly did.

Specifically they dig into:

- Horace’s experience of the Vision Pro and why Apple has chosen to make a ‘spatial computer’

- The implications for the general mobility market, and especially the difference between visions of the future based on autonomous or micromobility

- Horace’s predictions for spatial computing

And with that, here’s Horace.
