A trained cognitive scientist, Daniel Sproll has been at the forefront of the latest virtual reality renaissance for the past 7 years. First as a researcher studying human navigational behavior in VR, then as a UX designer laying groundwork in early VR interaction design, and now as co-founder of realities.io, where he is exploring what we can create when we bring the real world into the virtual one using 3D scanning technologies.
His work is driven by the belief that spatial computing will fundamentally change how we interact with digital content and the hope that, if we get it right, it holds the chance to make computing less abstract, more explorable, more embodied and ultimately more human.
