Vzdial
Vzdial is a fictional term used to describe a cross-domain framework for quantifying, transmitting, and interpreting spatial distance in distributed systems. In speculative and educational contexts, vzdial envisions a modular standard that combines sensor fusion, time-of-flight measurements, and geometric reasoning to produce consistent distance metadata across heterogeneous devices and domains. The concept emphasizes interoperable data models, extensible units, and clear reference frames to reduce ambiguity in distance reporting.
The core data model centers on a distance object with fields such as value, unit (meters, kilometers),
Vzdial specifies a lightweight transport protocol and a JSON- or binary-encoded payload. It provides a publish/subscribe
Applications in fiction and pedagogy include robotics, autonomous vehicles, drone swarms, augmented reality, and industrial IoT
Note: Vzdial is a fictional construct and does not denote a real-world standard. See also: distance measurement,
