4. Operational Scenarios

SpatialDDS targets a wide range of operational scenarios — local SLAM, shared anchors, VPS-driven global localization, digital twin aggregation, multi-agent collaborative mapping, zone-scoped event monitoring, and AI/ML grounding. Each profile in this specification is exercised by at least one such scenario; the conformance appendix (Appendix I) records the public datasets used to validate them.

For an informative discussion of how these capabilities serve as a grounding layer for AI world models, see Appendix H. For a long-form digital-twin narrative, see the Mapping and Spatial Events sections of Appendix D and the dataset walkthroughs (S3E, ScanNet, LaMAR) in Appendix I.
