About the talk: Apple Vision Pro is a breakthrough product that introduced the world to spatial computing. This product is a culmination of many cross discipline engineering innovations in mechanical design, cameras, sensors, audio processing, display technologies, as well as new user input interfaces and user experiences. In this talk, we will discuss how Apple custom silicon enables these cutting-edge technologies within extremely challenging power and thermal constraints.

About the speaker: Guy Côté is Senior Director of SoC architecture at Apple, responsible for SoC hardware video and display architectures across the company’s platforms. At Apple, Guy developed several key technologies and architectures for camera, video and display processing. Prior to joining Apple he was chief scientist of Mobilygen, where he was responsible for video coding and processing algorithms. In 2001, Guy co-founded VideoLocus where he served as vice president, R&D. VideoLocus was acquired by LSI Logic in 2003, and Guy oversaw video encoding algorithms and architecture for the video codec IP. Before that, Guy was with PixStream, Inc., where he developed MPEG-2 video encoding systems.

Guy received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, Canada, and his Ph.D in electrical engineering from the University of British Columbia, Canada. He has published over 25 journal papers, conference papers and standards contributions, and has been awarded more than 300 patents.
