Bio Julia Schwarz:
Julia is a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft where she works on input and interaction techniques for Mixed Reality.
She is one of the key members that brought instinctual interactions to HoloLens 2, allowing users to directly interact with holograms using their hands. She took the new HoloLens 2 input model all the way from research prototype into a shipping product, first building numerous prototypes to demonstrate the value of touching Holograms, then as lead engineer to bring the prototypes into shipping code. Finally, she presented the new input model at the HoloLens 2 announcement at Mobile World Congress in 2019. She currently works on ensuring our customers can build high-quality instinctual interactions by working on UX frameworks like Mixed Reality Toolkit, providing guidance, and leading a team doing interaction prototyping for new experiences and devices.
