Gerhard Reitmayr is a Senior Director of Technology at Qualcomm leading Perception research for XR, with 21 years of experience in AR/VR across academia and industry. He has driven foundational, low-power 6DOF head tracking, real-time visual tracking, SLAM and 3D reconstruction technologies that enable standalone XR devices. Prior roles as a professor and research scientist at Graz University of Technology and Cambridge underscore a strong academic pedigree (Dr. in Computer Science) combined with practical systems delivery. Gerhard’s career spans hands-on algorithm design for mobile visual computing to leading teams that productize perception stacks for consumer hardware. He is based in San Diego but his work reflects decades of international research collaborations and production deployments. A less obvious strength is his continuity across the full AR stack—from sensor fusion and online reconstruction to low-power optimization—bridging lab breakthroughs to commercial XR products.
