About Me

Hi. I’m James Ashley. I work out of Atlanta, Georgia.

I am an  VR/MR/XR architect specializing in Magic Leap, HoloLens, Oculus, and Kinect. I come out of the agency world and previously worked at Razorfish Emerging Experiences, where I developed custom installations for companies like AT&T, Delta, Dr. Scholl’s, Audi and Microsoft.

In 2012 I wrote the book Beginning Kinect Programming with Jarrett Webb for Apress. It was the first book published about Kinect development and sits on the bookshelves of most creators working in emerging technologies today.

In 2017 Dennis Vroegop and I did the App Development for HoloLens course on LinkedIn Learning.

I’ve been working on HoloLens development since May of 2016 and Magic Leap development since February of 2018. There’s some sort of record in that.
