Collaboration and Copresence for Enterprise

Magic Leap, 2019 - 2020

As Magic Leap shifted to an enterprise focus in 2019, I established and led product for a program to develop products for communication, collaboration, and copresence on Magic Leap.


Based on extensive market and customer research, I refreshed the roadmap and strategy for the consumer-targeted Avatar Chat and Social Suite to meet emerging market needs for enterprise-ready, spatial collaboration capabilities.

Volumetric Copresence

In 2019, Magic Leap acquired Mimesys, a European-based volumetric copresence startup. As the product lead I lead the commercialization and launch of their existing proof-of-concept on an aggressive 9 month timeline.

Platform Collaboration

The Landscape is the default mode of the Lumin OS, where apps can run side-by-side and persist in real world environments. 

I conceptualized and roadmapped a suite of OS features to enable enterprise users to view and collaborate, local or remote, with many side-by-side Landscape apps, including Helio web pages, 2D/3D files, and web apps.

Developer Enablement

I prioritized developer enablement as a major focus of the collaboration platform, defining detailed requirements for SDK enablers for multi-user applications. In Phase 1, we shipped a Beta Avatars SDK, enabling developers to use Magic Leap avatars in their apps; a cross-engine Apps Connectivity Platform; and an Invitations API for Unity apps.

3D Visualization Workflows

I made significant contributions to platform 3D visualization pipelines. I developed the initial product requirements for the Desktop Companion App, which enables enterprise customers to easily import files for viewing on device, and enables the development of PC software package plugins for data import / export and visualization on device. 3D files imported via the Desktop Companion App can also be viewed and annotated with realtime-collaboration natively in the OS.
