As a curious designer, Eliane is dedicated to making the user experience in a virtual world as natural as possible — whether in VR, AR or mixed reality. She sees early end-user integration as essential and loves exploring each person’s perception. As a contrast to work in the digital jungle, she enjoys breathing in clear mountain air.
