Meta's head of AR glasses on the way forward for AR {hardware}

Whereas VR headsets have been with us for not less than a decade, AR {hardware} barely exists right this moment; certainly, the very elements that can comprise the {hardware} scarcely exist, making it a really zero-to-one innovation problem. Meta’s Head of AR Glasses {Hardware}, Caitlin Kalinowski helps to guide that cost. Kalinowski hails from Portsmouth, NH and studied mechanical engineering at Stanford College. She is a veteran of Meta’s VR group and led product design and integration of the Meta Quest.

Kalinoswki spoke recently with Tech@ concerning the variations between VR and AR and the way in her present function she is creating {hardware} that must be smaller, lighter, and related or equally highly effective to the VR headsets she helped develop earlier in her profession. Kalinoswki additionally explores how variety – of abilities, of temperaments, of sensibilities, of ethnicity, of gender, and sexuality – is essential for innovation. Lastly, she discusses the function of collaboration and making a secure house for failures that helps navigating the huge house between zero and one.
