Reality, by design.

Stella Muehlhaus designs systems that shape how humans and machines connect — through tools, interfaces, and frameworks that expand what people can do. Her work spans spatial computing, AI, and embodied technologies that merge biology with machine — from exoskeletons and prosthetics to perceptual systems.

Today, she works across operating systems on input and interaction at Meta Reality Labs, contributing to the core infrastructure of next-generation XR platforms. Her focus is not just on how humans and machines connect — but on how systems are built to be long-lasting, intuitive, and empowering.

Stella shares her thinking through Meta’s Horizon DevCenter and Medium, offering insights into the principles, tools, and philosophies behind her work.
She believes the future isn’t something we simply let happen — it’s something we must design with care. And tech is only as powerful/useful as the people it includes.
