Karol Hatzilias
A computer-vision and 3D-sensing engineer who turns optics and depth-perception research into shipped products — from Navy-funded 3D scanners to Meta's near-eye display systems.
Karol Hatzilias is a computer-vision and 3D-sensing engineer whose career spans founding a Navy-funded 3D-scanning company (United Sciences) and engineering near-eye display and eye-tracking systems at Meta's Reality Labs. He is a named inventor on multiple patents covering 3D cavity scanning and optical sensing for AR/VR, with a Google Scholar record concentrated in optics, computer vision, and eye tracking (~915 citations). At Noetive he brings hands-on depth in perception and sensing — turning physical-world signals into machine-usable data.
