Bret Victor

Bret Victor led the team that founded Dynamicland and invented Realtalk, the world‘s only self-hosted spatial computing system.

Previously at Apple, he designed the earliest user interface concepts for the iPad and several other new hardware platforms. His work established Apple’s internal future-interfaces prototyping group, whose inventions have shipped in billions of Apple products.

His later public-domain work on next-generation programming interfaces has been viewed millions of times, and directly inspired numerous products, companies, and academic papers.

His work has won the Apple Design Award twice. Computing pioneer Alan Kay has called him “one of the greatest user interface design minds in the world today”, and design legend Edward Tufte recognized him as a “design theory wizard, at the cutting edge of interface designs for programming, seeing, reasoning”.

He has electrical engineering degrees from Caltech and UC Berkeley.

In a possible future,
just within reach,
computing is continuous with human life.

We shape ideas in our hands.
The world becomes a thing to think with.

We walk through each others’ imaginations,
conversing by making, telling by showing.

Around every concept, we see the context.
Around every part, we see the whole.

We see the invisible, think the unthinkable, share the inexpressible.
Together.
