Spatial Anchor
Also known as: World Anchor, Azure Spatial Anchor
A reference point in physical space used to precisely position and lock virtual content to real-world locations in augmented reality applications. Spatial anchors ensure that virtual objects remain consistently placed relative to the physical environment across devices and sessions. In shared AR, spatial anchors are essential for ensuring all users see virtual content in the same physical location, enabling collaborative interactions like therapist-guided training where both parties need a consistent view of the training environment.
