Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmmanuel Durand is a Co-Founder and researcher with 13 years of experience specializing in virtual reality, image processing, and mixed-reality systems. He led research and development at the Society for Arts and Technology and now co-runs Lab148, combining deep academic expertise (PhD in Image Processing and Virtual Reality) with hands-on C++ and Python implementations for real-time capture, lighting reproduction, and image segmentation. His career blends creative cultural-tech projects—such as outdoor AR installations and synchronized projection systems—with rigorous prototyping and production engineering. Based in Montreal, he moves fluidly between research leadership and practical device deployment, and has a track record of supervising on-site installations and multidisciplinary teams. An unexpected strength is his background in content creation pipelines (Maya, Mental Ray) alongside low-level sensor and motor control integration, making him fluent across visual, hardware, and software domains.
