Tim Droz (USA) joins the corporate as an impartial board of administrators member, whereas Youssef Benmokhtar (USA) joins the advisory board. VoxelSensors said that with huge expertise in semiconductors, 3D sensing, techniques structure, pure interplay, buyer engagement, and XR wearables, their experience will assist to facilitate additional development and world engagements for the corporate.

Together with his management expertise in shopper electronics, notion engineering, and govt administration, Droz joins VoxelSensors as an impartial Board member. With experience in augmented and digital actuality (AR/VR) techniques, 2D and 3D cameras, imaging and depth sensors, Droz has held senior technical administration positions at Meta Actuality Labs, Sony DepthSensing Options, and Canesta (acquired by Microsoft), the place he contributed considerably to the development of digicam and depth applied sciences, in response to VoxelSensors.

“I’m excited to affix the Board of VoxelSensors and contribute to the corporate’s exceptional journey of innovation and development,” stated Droz. “VoxelSensors’ dedication to pushing the boundaries of sensor expertise and depth subsystems aligns completely with my ardour for disruptive developments.
