Code in Space: Redefining Tech Creation with AI and XR - The JetBrains Blog

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) are reshaping technological interactions, potentially marking a significant shift since the mouse-and-windowing paradigm of the 1970s and 80s. AI now introduces a conversational format to software engineering, while XR provides a rich input surface through gaze, hands, voice, and more, offering a multimodal human-AI experience. JetBrains Research's Human-AI eXperience (HAX) team explores these impacts on tech creators, such as software engineers and designers, through expert interviews. Their findings reveal the potential of AI-XR to address tech creators’ needs, the constraints of developing such tools, and the dissolution of boundaries between authoring, coding, and designing. While consumer-grade XR hardware and sensors are rapidly advancing, leading to more reliable tracking and diverse form factors, the field still seeks a new interaction paradigm suitable for spatial computing. Ethical concerns, technology readiness, and cognitive challenges are pivotal in developing AI-XR systems that are acceptable, safe, and humane, as they increasingly integrate into professional environments and everyday life.
