Building a design process

Interaction designer focused on creating novel interactions with physical artificial intelligence systems through experiments in prompt engineering, multimodal interactions, and embodied inputs with large language models.

We are a Physical AI company pioneering a new form of artificial intelligence that is capable of perceiving, understanding, and reasoning about the world. Our vision is to encode the entire physical world. To achieve this, we are building Newton™, the first foundation model that can understand the physical world. Newton fuses multimodal temporal data – including signals from accelerometers, gyroscopes, radars, cameras, microphones, thermometers, and other environmental sensors – with natural language to unlock insights about the physical world in real time.
