Bret Victor is an interface designer, computer scientist, and electrical engineer known for his talks on the future of technology.

He was a member of the small group of people who worked on the initial design for the iPad, and contributed to the development of other products including the Apple Watch.

[3] In 2014, Victor joined the Communications Design Group as a researcher, where he worked on software to allow citizens and scientists to model and understand systems.

He posits that people use computers as "really fast paper emulators," and envisions future technology that can change its physical form.

As part of this project he wrote an essay about using interactive models when communicating about science,[6] which popularized the term "explorable explanation".
