Let me start off by saying this man is very low-key on the internet. There’s quite literally maybe 2 paragraphs of information on the internet actually about him. Regardless I found what I could, and here it is. Originally from Paris he started working at a robotics company, which if you go their website https://www.aldebaran.com/en it looks like he was definitely in on some cool projects. He then ended up at the Google Cultural Institute in Paris, and from there he and Damian Henry created Google Cardboard. Eventually taking a prototype to silicon valley, and landing a job at the main Google headquarters. He wanted to make a low cost VR headset, and they did just that. The next big project is working on getting it into classrooms for students and teachers to utilize.
