## Summary
Commission a spatial application around a real user task, with explicit scene formats, device support and tracking limitations.

## Engineering Overview
A spatial engagement starts with the decision a user needs to make, not a rendering technique. Select a target device, define the interaction and assess whether the available scene assets can support it.

### Illustrative Scope
An illustrative remote-inspection viewer could let an operator navigate a captured scene and open its original photographs. It would not certify dimensions or authorize equipment changes. Tracking loss and missing coverage must remain visible.

## Target Audience
- Product teams building spatial interfaces
- Operations teams exploring remote visual inspection
- Training teams evaluating AR/VR workflows

## Supported Workflows
- Scene capture and viewer prototyping
- Interactive spatial walkthroughs
- Object-linked information overlays
- Device-specific AR/VR applications

## Required Inputs
- Target devices and runtime
- Scene assets and rights to use them
- User tasks and accessibility needs
- Tracking, network and privacy constraints

## Engineering Deliverables & Outputs
- Device-specific prototype and compatibility report
- Scene ingestion and interaction implementation
- Tracking-loss and performance evaluation
- Deployment and asset-update instructions

## Delivery Stages
1. Define the user task
2. Audit assets and devices
3. Prototype the interaction
4. Test on target hardware
5. Deliver with operating limits

## Acceptance Criteria
Test loading, sustained frame time, input methods and tracking recovery on the named devices. Agree asset size limits and offline behaviour. Deliver the supported-device list and known blind spots; browser and headset parity is not assumed.

## Operating Boundaries
- **Integrations:** Agree scene formats, coordinate units and asset rights. Connect annotations to original images or records rather than treating a rendered scene as ground truth.
- **Deployment:** Validate the named browser or headset runtime, input methods and resource limits. Test scene loading and provide a non-immersive fallback when appropriate.
- **Human Review & Governance:** Test tracking loss and alignment errors with representative users. Measurement and high-impact decisions require independent verification beyond visual realism.

## Operating Limitations & Safety Boundaries
- A visual reconstruction is not a certified measurement
- Runtime and input support vary by device
- Tracking loss needs an explicit fallback
- High-impact decisions require independent verification

## Common Technical Question
**Q: Will one application work on every headset and browser?**
A: Not automatically. Graphics features, sensors and controls vary. Start with named target devices, validate the required interactions and provide a non-immersive fallback where appropriate. Expansion is a separately tested scope.
