Immersive artist & XR developer · Tunisia
I grew up a 15-minute walk from a Roman city. Now I scan Tunisia's heritage in 3D with volunteers all over the world, and I build AR and VR that has been shown at the Smithsonian and MIT.

Some of my favorite projects.
The project I care about most. Volunteers in Tunisia and around the world scan our endangered heritage in 3D, one object at a time. 100+ free models so far!
A climate installation where you see a damaged world alone, and a restored one the moment you hold someone's hand.
I co-created the Future of Energy & Water experience for the Smithsonian's FUTURES exhibition in Washington, D.C. The show welcomed over 600,000 visitors!
Speaking
I speak about heritage, climate and XR. I've spoken at AWE, the Energy Thought Summit and even at the El Jem International Conference in Tunisia! I also love judging, from Games for Change to EE 30 Under 30.
Some of my favorite moments: ruins, stages, the sea and classrooms.

I talked about my journey, Tanit XR and using XR for good. The full episode is on YouTube.
Best Societal Impact, for Tanit XR. The next day I saw a whale, just saying.
A paddle boat at 6 AM near my hometown, Nabeul, to look for the ruins of Neapolis. The water was so clear!
Nonprofit
So much of Tunisia's heritage has never been documented, and it's eroding. Tanit XR is run by volunteers, and so far we've funded everything ourselves. You can donate through our fiscal sponsor, Florida Community Innovation, a US 501(c)(3), or come volunteer with us. Love history? Curious about XR? Everyone is welcome!
