Cecilia Abadie is a tech entrepreneur and advocate for wearable and augmented reality who gained public attention after challenging a distracted driving citation for wearing Google Glass while behind the wheel. Abadie is a prominent figure in the AR community, and she has been featured in several news outlets for her work in the field.
Early life and education[edit]
Cecilia Abadie was born in Argentina and raised in Uruguay. She has a master's degree in information systems and worked as a software developer before moving to the United States in 2002.
Career[edit]
Abadie's interest in technology and innovation led her to become an early adopter of Google Glass, a wearable device that provides augmented reality features. In 2013, while wearing the device, Abadie was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer and cited for distracted driving[1]. Abadie challenged the citation[2], arguing that the device was not turned on at the time and that it was not a distraction. Her case gained widespread media attention and was ultimately dismissed in 2014[3][4][5] at a San Diego Court.
Following her legal victory, Abadie continued to be a outspoken advocate for augmented reality technology. She co-founded 33Labs, a company that specialized in developing AR applications and games. She also worked as a Product Manager at Metavision and now at Google in the space of XR.
Abadie has been featured in several news outlets for her work in AR, including NBC News[6] and the Women's Media Center[7]. She has also spoken at numerous conferences and events on the topic of AR and its potential impact on various industries.
