Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Whitmire is a research scientist and PhD-trained engineer with 12 years of experience building input devices at the intersection of hardware, signal processing, and machine learning for mixed reality and wearable AI. Currently a technical lead at Meta’s research arm, he combines rapid prototyping skills with deep academic rigor from a University of Washington CSE PhD and an NDSEG fellowship. His work spans haptics, sensor fusion, and real-time interaction systems developed during internships at NVIDIA, Microsoft, Oculus, and Facebook Reality Labs. Eric’s projects emphasize making next-generation computing more natural to use, drawing on a background that includes robotics-inspired biobot tracking and Kinect-based audio/vision systems. Notably, he blends practical product-facing research with low-level device integration, enabling prototypes that move from lab demos to real-world AR/VR platforms.
