David L. Rose (born February 19, 1967) is a product designer and entrepreneur, and the CEO of Clearwater AR.
Rose was born on February 19, 1967, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina when his father, James Rose, was in medical school.
Rose graduated from Madison West High School in Madison, Wisconsin in 1985 and obtained a BA in Physics and Fine Arts from St. Olaf College in 1989. He then went on to earn his master's degree from Harvard University, focusing on technology in education, graduating in 1992. [1]
Rose founded the company Interactive Factory in 1992, following several years of working as a software engineer in speech recognition and robotics. Interactive Factory, now iFactory, a division of RDW Group, is a boutique design firm specializing in digital and interactive media.[ citation needed ]
After Interactive Factory's acquisition in 1997, Rose patented the first online photo-sharing service and founded Opholio. [2] The start-up was bought by Flashpoint Technology in 1998, [3] and Rose went on to found Viant's Innovation Center, where he was director for four years.
A patent troll company, named FotoMedia, ended up with Rose's online photo sharing patent. Rose criticized the company for "hoarding and non-operating of the technology", using the patent to threaten other companies instead. [4]
In 2002, Rose co-founded Ambient Devices, a spin-off from the MIT Media Lab [5] and a pioneer in embedding Internet information in everyday objects. [6] One of Rose's inventions was the Ambient Orb. [7] [8] [9] The company went on to develop over a dozen internet-connected objects including: the Ambient Umbrella, the Ambient Dashboard, 5-day Weather Forecaster, and the Energy Joule.
In 2008, Rose founded Vitality, a high-tech healthcare start-up where he conceived and led the development of the GlowCap, the first cellular-connected pill cap. [10] The product was a recipient of the 2010 Medical Design Excellence Awards. Vitality was sold in 2011 to biotech investor Patrick Soon-Shiong and rolled into NantHealth. [11]
Rose was the founder and CEO of Ditto Labs, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based start-up focused on image-recognition software. [12]
In July 2014, Rose published a book about The Internet of Things called Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things. [13] Rose argues that the cell phone monopolizes attention and that there is an opportunity to unglue society from these screens by spreading apps into every day objects like clothing, jewelry, and rooms. [14]
In 2017, Rose was a futurist at IDEO where he worked with a team to design and prototype gesture-based interactions. He also developed computer vision technology for people to perform one and two-handed gestures to control light and sound in the environment. Rose filmed dancers, American Sign Language teachers, mimes, and an orchestra conductor to learn about the communicative power of subtle gestures.
Rose was the VP of Vision Technology at Warby Parker from 2017 to 2019. He has also been a lecturer at the MIT Media Lab, where he worked with the Tangible Media and City Science groups and taught a course called "Enchanted Architecture."
In 2020, Rose co-founded ClearWater AR, where he serves as CEO. ClearWater AR developed the first augmented reality experience for boaters and fishers with an App Store app that allows them to see water topography, buoys, dropping pins, safe tracks and more, along with a compatible set of glasses and an AR camera coming soon. [15]
Since 2021, Rose has also served as the Chief Technology Officer for Home Outside which uses aerial and street view data to automatically redesign residential landscapes to improve sustainability, home value, and curb appeal. By simply typing in a home address, Home Outside allows users to visualize and walk through your newly designed yard in 3D.
Rose is also a Forbes contributor.
Rose lives in Brookline, Massachusetts with his wife and two children.
Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience that combines the real world and computer-generated content. The content can span multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory. AR can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects. The overlaid sensory information can be constructive, or destructive. This experience is seamlessly interwoven with the physical world such that it is perceived as an immersive aspect of the real environment. In this way, augmented reality alters one's ongoing perception of a real-world environment, whereas virtual reality completely replaces the user's real-world environment with a simulated one.

Ambient devices are a type of consumer electronics, characterized by their ability to be perceived at-a-glance, also known as "glanceable". Ambient devices use pre-attentive processing to display information and are aimed at minimizing mental effort. Associated fields include ubiquitous computing and calm technology. The concept is closely related to the Internet of Things.

Physical computing involves interactive systems that can sense and respond to the world around them. While this definition is broad enough to encompass systems such as smart automotive traffic control systems or factory automation processes, it is not commonly used to describe them. In a broader sense, physical computing is a creative framework for understanding human beings' relationship to the digital world. In practical use, the term most often describes handmade art, design or DIY hobby projects that use sensors and microcontrollers to translate analog input to a software system, and/or control electro-mechanical devices such as motors, servos, lighting or other hardware.
In computing, multi-touch is technology that enables a surface to recognize the presence of more than one point of contact with the surface at the same time. The origins of multitouch began at CERN, MIT, University of Toronto, Carnegie Mellon University and Bell Labs in the 1970s. CERN started using multi-touch screens as early as 1976 for the controls of the Super Proton Synchrotron. Capacitive multi-touch displays were popularized by Apple's iPhone in 2007. Multi-touch may be used to implement additional functionality, such as pinch to zoom or to activate certain subroutines attached to predefined gestures using gesture recognition.

The idea of technology brokering is to span multiple industries, and to see how existing technologies could be used to create breakthrough innovations in other markets. Technology brokering requires companies to be strong in two areas. As Andrew Hargadon, technology brokering's founder, summarized: "Firstly, the company must have the ability to bridge distant communities, usually when a company can move easily across a range of different markets they have a better view of how technologies can be used in new ways. Secondly, technology brokering involves creating new markets and industries from innovative combinations of existing technology. These two strengths are difficult to have simultaneously because the strong ties the companies have with customers and supplies in one industry prevent the company from moving easily into other markets and experimenting with new ideas."
