CHRIS ROJAS

AR UX PROTOTYPER
With 10+ years of AR experience designing and developing software and hardware prototypes.

About

I spent the last 3+ years building AR Glasses UX prototypes at Meta. Previously, I prototyped UX the first Hololens at Microsoft; helped raise capitol for the AR headset startup also named Meta (not Facebook); created real-time visuals for Steve Aoki, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, and others; prototyped light up choreographable dance suits worn by the Black Eyed Peas, Britney Spears, and other pop stars; built interactive installations using massive LED walls at Intel's HQ and CES performance; and created visuals for Seattle's largest projection mapping at Pier86. I am a strong advocate for open source projects and an open metaverse.

In my previous career, I was an embedded photojournalist in Iraq with an independent PBS show, and I occasionally contributed as an independent photojournalist to multiple local independent media companies, the ACLU, and local law firms that represent activists and social justice leaders in the community.
