Founder
LitStage/XReality Pro

Dominique Wu is an XR creator, AI strategist, educator, and author of Spatial Design, passionate about transforming learning through immersive storytelling and spatial technology. With over 15 years of experience across XR, UX, and AI industries, she has designed for tech giants like Meta and Walmart, shaping user-centered products that reimagine how we interact with the world.

She is the founder of LitStage, a mixed reality platform that transforms literature and curricula into immersive adventures, inviting students to step directly into the worlds of The Raven, Moby-Dick, and STEM explorations through VR.

She is also the founder of XReality Pro and an AI Fellow with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. Dominique leads workshops, consulting, and creative content that empower educators and creators to integrate emerging technologies into education and design. She also serves as an adjunct professor at Cañada College, where she teaches Unity, XR, and AI for design—guiding students to bring digital worlds to life with code, creativity, and courage.

Blending artistic intuition with practical innovation, Dominique reimagines learning as a lived experience rather than a static lesson. From design and development to teaching and community building, her work is devoted to shaping a future where technology is accessible, inclusive, and deeply human.
