The future will bring us an embodied, 3D internet that some are now calling the Metaverse. But how will we enter these spaces? What types of displays, sensors and product design will be needed to transport people to new worlds, or to augment the worlds they are already in? Join me while I talk about the fundamental VR technologies used today and where I think this tech is headed. I will also briefly survey the AR technology space.
Caitlin Kalinowski leads the AR Hardware team for Reality Labs at Meta. Previously, she led VR Hardware, the division responsible for the Meta Quest 2 and Touch controllers, and the Oculus Rift, Go and RiftS. Before working at Oculus, Caitlin was a technical lead at Apple on the Mac Pro and MacBook Air products and was part of the original unibody MacBook Pro teams. Caitlin received her BS in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 2007.
Caitlin is passionate about increasing the number of women and other underrepresented minorities in the fields of technology and design. She believes the next generation of products must be designed and engineered by people with different backgrounds and experiences to create the best possible product. Caitlin is on the Board of Axon, as well as on the strategic board of Lesbians Who Tech, the largest women’s tech conference in California and the largest LGBTQ professional network in the world
