“Design is a plan to create a preferable future.” —Joshua Walton, Director of Design, RL-R

Please visit this page to view a 10-Year celebration Video for Reality Labs & Reality Labs Research.

As a Design Manager on the Reality Labs Research Design Team, I support an interdisciplinary team of designers & prototypers working on the Second Great Wave of Human-oriented Computing. My team and I focus on Optics & Display, Display Systems, and Bio-signal Research. We work alongside Research Scientists, Hardware, & Software Engineers to envision ways that emergent technologies might be most useful and beneficial to real people within a 5 to 10-year time horizon.

Unfortunately, one of the downsides of inventing the future is that I can’t talk about much about it. With some minor exceptions, everything my team & I work on is highly confidential.

I am able to share this video from a different area of Research involving glove hardware and haptics. While my immediate team had limited involvement with this particular effort, it gives you a sense of how early in the product development process all of RL-R’s work is.
