The division’s new leader has extensive experience developing metaverse hardware.
Meta’s former augmented reality hardware team lead, Caitlin Kalinowski, will head up a new consumer hardware team for artificial intelligence firm OpenAI.
Kalinowski was the lead engineer on Meta’s recently launched “Orion” augmented reality glasses and has previously worked as a designer and engineer for Apple. According to a report from Tech Crunch, she’s spent the past decade working in the virtual reality and metaverse spaces.
While her most recently launched project, Meta’s Orion augmented reality glasses, were developed as part of her former company’s ambitions in the metaverse space, it appears the OpenAI gig will be more oriented toward consumer robotics.
