Five key themes emerged: new interaction paradigms (gaze, gesture, voice, biometrics), AI as a contextual layer adapting XR environments to users, technology readiness and adoption friction, AI-XR for professional creation work, and ethics/control concerns. The research highlights that XR's richness as an input surface—capturing gaze, posture, physiological signals—combined with modern multimodal AI creates a qualitatively new interaction substrate. Concrete prototype concepts include gaze-triggered Socratic code reviews, immersive 3D pull request walkthroughs, blended coding environments with spatial dependency graphs, and programmable affordances that translate abstract algorithms into manipulable 3D objects. The central open question is whether spatial computing offers better metaphors for code than text-based interfaces. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
