Conduir Spatial

Conduir Spatial explores a shared 3D setting where people and AI can work on the same scene. It investigates how an agent’s proposed action can remain attributable and subject to rules within a collaborative environment.

Work architected at Fifth9.

Working together beyond a conversation

A shared space can make an idea tangible. People can examine a design, try a different arrangement and see how their contributions relate to one another.

The research question is what changes when AI can participate in that space. A useful environment needs to distinguish a suggestion from an accepted action and preserve a clear account of what changed.

The foundations under development

The implementation combines a browser-based 3D interface, shared scene state and a physics engine. Signed operations and a policy gate provide a way to check proposed changes before accepting them.

These mechanisms address parts of the collaboration problem: keeping contributions attributable, coordinating updates and examining whether a change fits the applicable rules. The overall project remains in progress.

A shared scene, with wider connections

Designers interact with Conduir Spatial; the context view also shows optional AI and voice services, future design and solver connections, and an accountable engineer receiving decisions and limitations.
Conceptual context: shared scenes sit within a wider product-design direction. AI/voice and CAD/PLM/solver connections shown here include optional and future relationships; they are not a claim of completed integrations or a screenshot of the current interface. Open the full-size diagram ↗

What has been tested

A red-team harness exercised a bounded set of attempts to bypass the action rules. A separate physics check examined whether separate engine instances reproduced the same state over a fixed simulation run.

The two results answer different questions. One examines specific attempts to bypass the intended action rules; the other examines repeatability in a bounded simulation. Neither is a general claim about every browser, device or possible interaction.

Towards shared realities

Spatial is work architected at Fifth9 and contributes to the shared-worlds horizon. A room that people and agents can change together is one possible setting for design, practice and exploration.

The next direction is a meaningful co-creation activity in which the value of that shared setting can be assessed. The focus is what people can understand and accomplish together, supported by clear control over the changes made around them.
