David Francis

CEO & Co-Founder at Virtual Method

A Creative Technologist and strategy specialist in the complexities of working with augmented, assisted and virtual reality as well as IoT and AI.

I have conceived, produced and launched AR + VR for many of the world’s biggest brands for more than a decade, have been dedicated solely to these technologies – and have been the first to introduce it to hundreds of thousands of end-users. It has been a rare privilege to witness the impact of AR and VR on so many people, reinforcing my personal (and now widely shared) belief that it is the next major computing platform.

I am passionate, driven, meticulous, never-give-up and am as comfortable around engineers, coders and animators as I am amongst marketers, digital strategists and c-level executives, as I am amongst actors, dancers, writers, VO-artists and musicians.

My training and experience is fairly broad and eclectic.

In the last few years, I have also been heavily involved in extending AR/VR into the Industrial world, introducing various advanced wearable solutions that facilitate Industrial 4.0 + IIoT + AI. I have advised leading Mining, PoG, manufacturing, automative, agriculture and defence industries when, where and how they can integrate and adopt for bottom-line impacts, better safety and connected-worker operational evolution – and have built + run many pilot-programs + workshops.
