A viewport is a term used in web development and spatial computing to describe the visible area of a web page or application on a display device. It is essentially the "window" through which users view the content. The size and position of the viewport can vary depending on the device and user settings.
In the context of spatial computing and VisionOS, the viewport can refer to the area where content is rendered and viewed by the user. For example, in VisionOS, the viewport might be the space where a 3D model or spatial photo is displayed, and it can be adjusted to fit the user's view and interaction needs.
For more detailed information on how to optimize content for different viewports in spatial computing, you can refer to the session Optimize for the spatial web.
