Gartner® Recognizes Outsight as a Key Player in Spatial Computing

In its latest Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Computer Vision report, Gartner identifies Outsight as a key vendor in Spatial Computing, alongside major technology players such as Nvidia, Meta, Alphabet, and Matterport.

Outsight has once again been recognized by Gartner, the world’s leading technology research and advisory firm.

This follows our previous inclusion in Gartner’s analysis of Digital Twin technology, where Outsight was highlighted for its role in advancing real-time Spatial Intelligence for critical infrastructure:

Gartner® Highlights Outsight as Digital Twin leader
Recognized for pioneering real-time digitalization of dynamic environments, Outsight sets itself apart by focusing on the live monitoring of people and vehicle flows.

The latest recognition further validates that Spatial AI is no longer a future vision but a present-day reality, already being deployed at scale across industries such as transportation, smart cities, and industrial logistics.

Spatial Computing is emerging as a fundamental technology for enterprises looking to digitize and optimize physical operations.

According to Gartner, “Spatial Computing will redefine how businesses interact with real-world environments, offering unparalleled precision in people and vehicle flow analysis.”

The ability to turn real-world motion into actionable data is no longer an experimental concept; it is an operational necessity for major infrastructure operators worldwide.

Spatial Computing and the Shift to Real-Time Infrastructure Intelligence

Spatial Computing is transforming how organizations monitor and optimize large-scale physical environments.

By integrating advanced lidar sensors, AI-powered analytics, and real-time spatial tracking, businesses can move beyond static video surveillance or traditional monitoring methods toward continuous, automated intelligence about physical movement and resource utilization.

Why Gartner’s Recognition Matters for the Industry

Gartner’s acknowledgment of Outsight in the Spatial Computing category is a strong indication that the technology is rapidly moving toward widespread adoption.

The report highlights that “enterprise video will increasingly be processed at the edge, reducing latency and unlocking real-time operational intelligence.”

This aligns with Outsight’s approach of enabling on-premise, real-time analysis of physical flows without the need for cloud-dependent heavy processing and was recognized as soon as 2023 by the Edge AI Vision Alliance Product of the Year award:

We’re thrilled to announce that the 6th generation of our 3D LiDAR processing software, has been awarded the 2023 Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year!

By digitizing people and vehicle movement with continuous tracking and real-time analytics, businesses can make data-driven decisions faster, reducing inefficiencies and enhancing safety.

This capability is particularly relevant for industries where large-scale movement of people and goods is critical, such as airports, logistics hubs, and smart cities.

Outsight leadership in the space was recently highlighted by the Airport Technology Innovation award:
