Pro Tip 1/3Not Just Physical
Spatial can refer to abstract concepts, not only physical space or geography.
Discussing the spatial distribution of wealth can involve economics and statistics.
Pro Tip 2/3Context Specific
Meaning of 'spatial' can change slightly depending on the context such as design, science, or art.
Spatial composition is crucial in graphic design to create balance.
Pro Tip 3/3Mental Mapping
'Spatial' relates to mental skills; understanding how things fit together in space.
Good spatial intelligence helps architects envision complex structures.

The dawn of the age of...
So help me out if I buy a HoloLens and have it at home, I don't need to map my apartment, right? The HoloLens maps in real time at about five frames per second, with this technology that we call spatial mapping. So in your home, as soon as you put it on, holograms will start showing up, and you'll start placing them and they'll start learning your home.

Pointing to the future...
Much of what we want computers to help us with in the first place is inherently spatial. And the part that isn't spatial can often be spatialized to allow our wetware to make greater sense of it. Now we can distribute this stuff in many different ways. So we can throw it out like that. Let's reset it.

Exploring Pluto's...
So before we enter the Pluto system, we downloaded the highest spatial resolution observations we'd made to date. So there is only five of us in the whole world that had seen this image of Pluto. My hair looks better than that. We're all just sitting there at that moment like whoa! Wow! Whoa! Whoa!

American Artist
American intelligence and military agencies have a huge footprint in terms of how the world works, but they're largely invisible. I'm interested in exploring those 'geographies' of secrecy from many different angles: political, legal, economic, spatial, etc., because I am fundamentally just interested in how the world works and how societies work.
Quote examples
Louise Wilson
British Educator
Now there is tons of information available online. 90% of students rarely look at magazines in their intended format because they're looking at them on a computer screen. They don't understand the layout, so when they come to putting their own portfolios together, they have no spatial awareness.
Quote examples
Edmund Husserl
German Philosopher
If all consciousness is subject to essential laws in a manner similar to that in which spatial reality is subject to mathematical laws, then these essential laws will be of most fertile significance in investigating facts of the conscious life of human and brute animals.
Quote examples
Stephen Hawking
English Physicist
It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

Nate Powell
American Artist
The truth is, I don't sketch much at all. I have a very visual/spatial brain that retains a lot of information about maps, directions, positioning, and details, so I usually prefer working out those issues on the page itself.

Eric Betzig
American Physicist
The question was, 'Is there a way of minimizing the amount of damage you're doing so that you can then study cells in a physiological manner while also studying them at high spatial and temporal resolution for a long time?

Edward Witten
American Mathematician
The theory has to be interpreted that extra dimensions beyond the ordinary four dimensions the three spatial dimensions plus time are sufficiently small that they haven't been observed yet.

Geoff Ryman
Canadian Writer
Traditional fiction has a little bit of spatial exploration but is basically a question of time - the question is, what happens next?

I've always had a more spatial mind, mathematical, than literal.
