I read that as having a strong natural inclination towards being good at visualizing shapes and undefined distances/ranges by eye or some other sense. So like, being able to visualize the approximate shape of a 2d image as if it were a 3d shape, or alternatively being able to accurately judge distances and the space between objects on instinct with just basic sensory data. They could then make a very precise jump across a gap or an appropriately ranged strike without having to think about it.

The idea of enhanced spacial awareness is invoked in Gundam with the Newtypes, the supposed next stage of human evolution. It was pretty undefined there, but it gave them an innate sense of directional reckoning and movement in a 3d low gravity environment, so probably some kind of instinctual grasp of heading and distances, the size and shape of objects, the interval between objects, etc. (They also were essentially psychic despite the creator insisting it wasn't a form of telepathy that allowed them to talk with Newtype ghosts and whatnot, but that's another story entirely.) They could instinctively sense a threat in the form of a "flash" and gained a sudden, heightened state of awareness. So maybe for some lucky individuals, this spatial awareness is able to give them a "fake" sixth sense through the powerful hearing mentioned in this thread earlier, making the Au ra appear to react a bit faster to an ambush than seems possible. Quite a few Newtypes were gifted in engineering and physical sciences too, but that might have been coincidence. Still it bears mentioning since the term used in Gundam is almost exactly the same and it was suggested maybe Au ra have an instinctual knack for building things.
