Ahmed Jerbi

Projection technology is not only about creating visual spectacle in Ahmed Jerbi’s work. One of the achievements he values most is bringing Vioso’s Exaplan platform into production sites for a major European aerospace manufacturer, using 1:1 projection to place digital plans directly onto real-world surfaces.

Jerbi joined Vioso in 2020 as a graduation thesis student researching real-time engine integrations in immersive projection environments. He moved into a full-time software and field engineering role, with his responsibilities increasingly shifting toward product development and ownership.

Over the past year, he led software development for Experience Designer, Vioso’s planning platform for projection mapping and visual systems. Working from early concepts and user feedback through demos, training and launch, the product has since reached a four-digit active user base. He has also helped move Exaplan from launch into international deployment, with installations in more than 10 facilities across three continents.

His interest in interactive technology began earlier. In 2017, working for Democracy International in Tunisia, Jerbi helped create civic-engagement campaigns using projection mapping, VR/XR and interactive media.

Looking ahead, he wants AV to become more open, modular and adaptable, with fewer closed workflows and systems that are difficult to update. He also argues for a less gate-kept industry where newcomers can learn by experimenting with real technology.
