Accessibility meets AI
Aske Stampe, Be My Eyes
It’s easy to notice from every social media feed and online news a substantial increase in AI products where you can achieve incredible results with the smallest effort. This disruptive way to think about “doing things” also inspired the title of Alessio’s talk for Design Matters Tokyo 23 “Everything Interface”. What he is referring to when using this title, is something along the lines of taking a photo of a box and turning it into a building through an inpainting process. In other words, extending our ideas and bringing them to life using the creativity we are all born with.
With a hybrid background between design and technology, Alessio loves implementing solutions in the world of XR. He is deeply interested in how AR can bring purpose to our life, binding existing and new solution spacing from the enterprise world to the entertainment.He is currently a Senior AR Prototyper Engineer at Magic Leap and focuses on translating design into software applications for the next generation AR wearable devices. His work starts in unity, but expands into many realms, from curating a design process to developing an interaction concept in detail until production. Lately he is exploring depthAI. He started his XR journey specializing in AR/VR architectural visualization in design firms and successively working in small game companies. In 2017 he worked at Emmy Awarded studio Super 78 Studios in the making of a VR game for children named Reef Rescue recognized as one of the first world’s high capacity and interactive virtual reality experiences.In 2019 he led the work for the art exhibition “Interfaces” at Milan Design Week by award winning design practice Morphosis, collaborating with Dassault Systemes. He also joined AWE in 2018 presenting his thesis work for urban AR experiences in collaboration with Sturfee and in 2022 for expanding on the topic virtual keyboard interactions, where Magic Leap won the Best-In-Class device prize for AR.Join his personal discord space EverythingEverywhereXR.
