Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRenaud Gervais is a creative technologist and scientific advisor with 11 years of experience bridging human-computer interaction research and hands-on prototyping in mixed reality, tangible interaction, and physiological computing. Based in Waterville, Quebec, he leads research-driven design at Sporobole while drawing on a PhD from Inria Bordeaux and prior postdoctoral work focused on spatial augmented reality and introspective tangible objects. His background blends rigorous computer-vision and C++ systems development for stereo 3D and AR with a designer’s sensibility for playful, mindful user experiences that aim to support positive behavioral change. Renaud regularly fabricates physical-digital installations, pairing fabrication skills with software like OpenCV, PCL and Ogre3D to make research tangible. Colleagues value his rare combination of academic depth and production-ready engineering, enabling prototypes that are both conceptually provocative and technically robust. He often frames computing as a means to cultivate reflection and well-being, not just efficiency.
