Laying the Foundation for AR Glasses

As Platform Director at Meta Reality Labs Research, I led the design vision for future AR input systems, shaping the foundational human-computer interaction paradigms for Meta’s next-generation AR glasses.

  • Defined multimodal interaction language and input system strategy, resulting in critically acclaimed EMG- and eye-tracking-based experiences
  • Built and scaled design teams within the research organization, embedding design in early-stage innovation and platform strategy
  • Directed cross-functional efforts to shape AR use cases, aligning design, engineering, and research to define user value and product viability

Use Case Development

  • Partnered with research and executive leadership to define and prioritize user-centered AR use cases, shaping product roadmaps and platform investments
  • Facilitated strategic workshops with cross-functional teams, resulting in a comprehensive library of future-looking AR scenarios
