Dominik Schnitzer is a Senior Software Engineering Manager with 13 years of experience building low-latency augmented reality systems, currently leading the OS, display, latency and sensor efforts for AR at Snap Inc. He combines deep embedded-systems and graphics expertise with machine learning and VIO/SLAM experience from roles at DAQRI and Qualcomm, where he ported VIO to DSPs and cut motion-to-photon latency to 8ms using late warping and asynchronous timewarp. A PhD-trained researcher and inventor with multiple publications and patents, Dominik has translated academic work into production firmware, Linux BSPs, drivers and Yocto-based OS stacks. He is an active collaborator in the AR community, contributes to open-source AR initiatives at Snap, and brings a rare mix of systems-level performance optimization and research-driven innovation. Based in Vienna, he also has a background in music information retrieval, reflecting an interdisciplinary curiosity that informs his approach to sensing and perception problems.
