Louis Rosenberg (born May 24, 1969) is a prolific inventor, entrepreneur, and writer. He attended Stanford University, where he earned his bachelors, masters, and PhD degrees. His doctoral work focused on robotics, virtual reality, and human-computer interaction and resulted in the Virtual Fixtures system for the U.S. Air Force, the first immersive Augmented Reality system ever built (1992). Rosenberg then founded a number of tech companies, including the VR company Immersion Corporation, the 3D digitizer company Microscribe, and the augmented reality company Outland Research. Rosenberg has also worked as a tenured professor at California Polytechnic State University. In 2014, he founded Unanimous A.I., an artificial intelligence company that enables groups to amplify their collective brainpower by forming real-time online swarms. Unanimous A.I. became well known in 2016 when its UNU A.I made a series of accurate predictions about world events, including predicting the 2016 Academy Awards, the 2016 Kentucky Derby, the 2016 Super Bowl, and the rise of Donald Trump.

Rosenberg is a vegan, a supporter of animal rights, and has helped to develop the first VR surgical simulators that reduced the use of animals in medical training. He is also dyslexic and has attributed some of his success as a technologist to this trait.

In 1992, Louis Rosenberg developed one of the first augmented reality systems ever built, called Virtual Fixtures, while working at the U.S. Air Force Armstrong Labs, and published the first study of how an AR system can enhance human performance. Rosenberg's related work at Stanford University in the early 90's, offered the first proof that virtual overlays, when registered and presented over a user's direct view of the real physical world, could significantly enhance human performance.
