Summary
Fabien Bénétou is a Brussels-based prototypist and founder with 11 years of experience crafting robust sandboxes and proof-of-concept WebXR and immersive solutions for organizations like UNICEF, Mozilla, Rhizome and the European Parliament. He combines hands-on VR development across devices—from high-end Valve Index setups to low-cost Cardboard—with strategic R&D, tech scouting and team leadership to turn ambitious hypotheses into testable experiments. As owner of Iterative Explorations and an operator of a personal Git server and Gitea instance, he values reproducible, well-documented prototypes rather than throwaway code. His consulting work has shaped technical roadmaps and standards for WebXR adoption in resource-constrained regions, and he regularly mentors startups through sprints and workshops. A curious tinkerer by nature, he has produced hundreds of PoCs and organized dozens of industry workshops and events, bringing together artists, sound designers and engineers. Notably, he pairs creative experimentation with pragmatic engineering practices to accelerate learning while preserving long-term maintainability.
