Innovative mixed reality gaming developer strengthens leadership team with hardware technology veteran behind Quest 3, Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and Orion AR prototype
MixRift, an innovative mixed reality (MR) gaming developer, today announced the appointment of Dr. Ingrid Cotoros as a key member of its Board of Advisors.
Cotoros brings over 20 years of hardware engineering expertise from her leadership roles at Meta’s Reality Labs and GoPro, where she spearheaded the development of breakthrough technologies that powered the world’s most advanced VR, AR, and smart glasses products.
As the former VP of Technology Engineering for Devices at Meta’s Reality Labs, Cotoros founded and led a thousand-strong team of specialised technologists who delivered the hardware innovations behind Meta’s Quest Pro, Quest 3, Quest 3S VR headsets, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, and the cutting-edge Orion AR glasses prototype. Her technical contributions span depth perception systems, immersive audio experiences, and world-locked display technologies that have shaped the mixed reality landscape since 2020.
“The future of gaming lies in creating unique experiences that blend digital and physical worlds,” said Dr. Cotoros. “MixRift’s vision for mixed reality gaming represents the next evolution of how we interact with digital content, and I’m excited to help them bring truly immersive experiences to players.”
Cotoros’ appointment aligns perfectly with MixRift’s ambitious technology roadmap, and reflects MixRift’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation in gaming.
“Ingrid’s deep understanding of hardware capabilities and sensing technologies complements our founding team’s vision beautifully,” said Bobby Voicu, CEO of MixRift. “Her experience developing the technologies that power every major VR and AR device launched in recent years gives us invaluable insight into what’s possible today and what’s coming next. We’re basically talking about someone who’s been at the forefront of every breakthrough that’s made our industry possible.”
During her tenure at Meta, Cotoros championed the strategic sequencing of features to engage customers in AI-powered computing platforms. Prior to Meta, she led multiple first-to-market innovations at GoPro, including the development of the first consumer-grade high-definition spherical camera and professional-level panoramic stereo capture systems.
Cotoros will focus her advisory efforts on understanding the physical capabilities of emerging device platforms and how they can unlock new interaction modes and experiences for gamers. A physicist by training with a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics from UC Berkeley and a BS in Physics from Caltech, Cotoros holds 26 US patents in camera hardware and content processing. Her diverse technical background reflects the interdisciplinary approach needed to solve complex mixed reality challenges.
Before her consumer electronics career, Cotoros served as a rocket scientist and space systems engineer at Lockheed Martin, developing space applications and defense programs. She was twice selected for Romania’s national team at the International Physics Olympiad, demonstrating her early passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s technically possible.
Meta Connect 2025 Meeting Opportunities
MixRift CEO Bobby Voicu will be attending Meta Connect 2025 (September 17-18, Menlo Park) and is available for media briefings about MixRift’s mixed reality gaming roadmap and strategic vision. With the company’s recent advisory board expansion bringing deep hardware expertise from Meta’s Reality Labs, Bobby can discuss how MixRift is leveraging insider knowledge of upcoming device capabilities to build next-generation gaming experiences. He’ll be sharing exclusive previews of MixRift’s upcoming titles and discussing how the company is positioning itself at the intersection of advanced hardware and innovative game design.

eGaming Integrity has been named Independent Online Gambling Assurance Provider of the Year 2026 at the UK Enterprise Awards, organised by SME News. The company is based in the Isle of Man and works with operators in regulated online gambling markets.

According to the company, the award recognises its assurance work aimed at helping gambling operators evaluate whether their compliance processes are prepared for regulated market requirements, as regulatory expectations increase around compliance standards and customer protection.

eGaming Integrity said its internal audit reviews assess how gambling businesses operate in practice, including whether procedures and controls meet standards expected by regulators. The company added that the process is designed to help operators identify where controls are effective and where improvements may be needed before issues emerge.

Emma Shilling, Director at eGaming Integrity, said,

“This award recognises the reason eGaming Integrity was created. Responsible operators want to know where they stand before problems appear, and independent assurance provides that outside perspective.

“Our team has seen regulation from both sides, which helps us understand where processes can break down and how operators can make practical improvements.”

Speaking on the accomplishments of the 2026 winners, Laura O’Carroll, Awards Manager, said,

“The announcement of our UK Enterprise Awards is perhaps one of our most anticipated milestones every year, and the 2026 launch is no different. We are truly pleased to deliver our digital magazine and winners list, showcasing such excellence, to our readers again this year. Atop this, to our winners, and from our team to yours, we wish you all a sincere congratulations on your success in this year’s programme.”

Booming Games has launched Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter, a new online slot released on 16 July 2026 from the supplier’s Malta base. The title is the second game in its Max Scatter series and uses a 6×4 grid with Scatter Pays, cascading wins and a stated maximum win potential of 15,000x.

The game pays when eight or more of the same symbol land. Winning symbols are removed and remaining symbols cascade down, with new symbols dropping in until no further wins are formed.

Free Spins are triggered by landing four or more Scatter symbols, including Scatters and Max Scatters, awarding 10 Free Spins. During the bonus, Random Multipliers can appear with values from 2x to 100x and remain active until the cascade sequence ends, after which multiplier values are combined and applied to the total win. Three or more Scatter symbols during Free Spins add five additional spins, while the feature ends if the max win is awarded.

Booming Games also includes Bonus Buy options priced at 100x the bet amount and a “Super Buy Bonus” at 500x, which the company says offers multipliers from 15x to 100x. A BOOST+ option increases the bet by 25% and increases the chance of triggering bonus features.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter is a great example of how we’re innovating within one of our top performing franchises. By adding exciting new Max Scatter mechanics to one of our most popular slots, we are confident the game will appeal to players looking for top-quality entertainment and high-stakes gameplay.”
