Jasmine Roberts is an engineer and researcher with experience advancing the frontiers of cognitive design in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. At Microsoft Research, she is developing next-generation generative AI tooling for creative workflows, building on work she began early enough in 2022 to anticipate the current wave.
Her prior work includes contributions to PlayStation VR2, Unity MARS, and Google ARCore, with a technical focus on spatial simulation, embodied interaction, and human-machine systems. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree in Games, Jasmine brings a unique approach to immersive computing that blends technical depth with future-facing design.
She is concurrently completing her PhD in Robotics, with a long-term goal of pioneering spatial computing pedagogy to train the next generation of XR engineers. In parallel, she is authoring a forthcoming computer science textbook on augmented reality, formalizing much of what she has spent the past decade building in industry.
