David Fattal is the founder and CTO of Leia, a company dedicated to revolutionizing visual experiences through light field display technologies. Lightfield displays are able to create 3D images without glasses. You might remember Leia for its work on the LumePad tablets and the Hydrogen One Smartphone from Red.
David is a quantum physicist who got his Ph.D. from Stanford with a focus on Quantum Computing and Quantum Communications. His research experience led him to HP Labs, which was at the forefront of Quantum Information Processing. He co-authored numerous scientific papers at both institutions.
A moment of serendipity while at HP Labs led to the creation of Leia. David spun the company out of HP in 2014 and has been the chief innovator since.
In this conversation, David makes the case for why every screen should be capable of 3D. He goes on to discuss:
- the basics of quantum computing,
- how his pursuits in quantum computing led to new type of display technology,
- what are light fields, why consumer should care and early use cases,
- the challenges of bringing light fields to mobile devices and lessons learned from working with Red cameras in building a mobile phone,
- and their go-to-market strategy.
