The Ultimate Trifecta | Digital Twins + Spatial Computing + AI

About this episode

Evan Helda interviews Ashley Crowder about the convergence of spatial computing, digital twins, and AI in the enterprise space.

* Apple Podcast Link * Spotify Podcast Link I recently sat down with Ashley Crowder, CEO of VNTANA , on her podcast Connected in 3D . We discussed all things at the intersection of spatial computing, digital twins, and AI, and where this convergence is heading within the enterprise space. We covered… * Why spatial computing is more than just headsets—it’s any system that sees and simulates the world * The real reason most companies are stuck in pilot purgatory * What a “spatial data plane” is and why companies need one * How AI + 3D data unlocks powerful new use cases—from training robots to designing factories * And why I believe generative UI will be the breakthrough that makes this all mainstream If you’re interested in using digital twins, immersive tech, or AI to make better decisions—not just more noise—this one’s worth a listen. And if you enjoy, please do give us some stars on your favorite podcast player, and please consider sharing with a friend or two! Really helps us spread the good word :) This is a public episode.
