Louis Rosenberg, PhD is an early pioneer of virtual and augmented reality and a longtime AI researcher. His work began over thirty years ago in VR labs at NASA and the U.S. Air Force where he developed the first mixed reality system (Virtual Fixtures platform) enabling users to reach out and interact with a combined spatial reality of real and virtual objects. In 1993, he founded the early VR company Immersion Corporation and brought it public on Nasdaq.
In 2004 he founded Outland Research, an early developer of augmented reality and spatial media technology acquired by Google. In 2014 he founded Unanimous AI, a company focused on amplifying the intelligence of networked human groups in pursuit of Collective Superintelligence. He received his PhD from Stanford University, was a tenured professor at California State University, and has been awarded over 300 patents for VR, AR, and AI technologies. His latest book, Our Next Reality, comes out in March from Hachette.
