Joan Llobera
Senior Researcher at IZI RECORD
Meyrin, Geneva, Switzerland
Summary
👤
SeniorJoan Llobera is a senior researcher and serial founder with a decade of experience at the intersection of virtual reality, motion capture and cognitive science, currently leading research at Artanim and serving as CTO and co‑founder of IZI Record. He blends academic rigor—from neuroscience labs and VR research groups—with product and startup execution, having spun a VR storytelling company from his PhD and led applied R&D in industry collaborations across Europe. His work couples real‑time interaction, 3D body scanning and machine learning for applications ranging from medical motion analysis to automated concert memory generation. Based in Geneva, Joan is comfortable moving between low‑level systems (C/C++, real‑time media stacks) and high‑level product design, and brings a rare combination of experimental design skills and practical deployment experience in live and networked environments. An often‑overlooked strength is his track record of translating behavioral and cognitive insights into commercially viable interactive experiences.
