THE TEAM
Chapter President: Matthew Dias boston@thevrara.com
Matt first developed a passion for AR while working at a digital agency in Boston, creating interactive mobile apps for visitors in public venues. He later founded Lingar, a mobile AR app for museum goers with curated digital content, activated by geolocation and object recognition.
He then joined Australia’s JigSpace, as Director of Sales and Marketing for North America. Highlighted annually for ARKit in Apple’s WWDC, JigSpace is a creator platform for enterprise clients to easily deploy interactive 3D and AR product demonstrations.
Matt currently serves as a Mixed Reality Solutions Specialist for SphereGen Technologies in New Haven, CT providing interactive training programs for manufacturers using the HoloLens.
