A physicist by training with a PhD from UC Berkeley and 26 US patents in camera hardware and content processing, Dr Cotoros will focus on advising MixRift on emerging device platforms and innovative interaction modes for gamers.

Prior to Meta, she led first-to-market innovations at GoPro and worked as a space systems engineer at Lockheed Martin, underscoring her broad technical experience and pioneering approach.

Dr Cotoros said: “The future of gaming lies in creating unique experiences that blend digital and physical worlds. 

“MixRift's vision for mixed reality gaming represents the next evolution of how we interact with digital content, and I’m excited to help them bring truly immersive experiences to players.”

Bobby Voicu, chief executive of MixRift, added: “Ingrid's deep understanding of hardware capabilities and sensing technologies complements our founding team's vision beautifully.
