Daniel Rosenberg Muñoz
Assistant Professor, Lab Chair
Daniel Rosenberg Muñoz is an Assistant Professor in the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University. As a designer, technologist, researcher, and educator, his work focuses on advancing direct, in-person interaction through design processes and technologies that heighten people’s innate mindful awareness and capacity for face-to-face engagement.
Daniel directs the Spatiality Lab, a research group focused on Spatial Interaction Design (Spatial IxD). Situated at the intersection of design and HCI, the lab investigates how spatial interactions can enrich human experiences of presence in co-located environments — from homes and workplaces to retail spaces, manufacturing facilities, and entertainment venues.
He also directs the Spatial Experiences Lab (SxL), an educational resource for students, faculty, and staff to ideate, prototype, and test interactions, media, and physical designs that unfold at room scale.
Daniel holds a PhD and a Master of Science in Design and Computation from MIT. He has taught at RPI’s CASE, NYU’s ITP, and SVA’s Design for Social Innovation Program. His research has been published at TEI, C&C, CAADRIA, CAAD Futures, and ACSA. He is the founder of Phantasma, a design consultancy specializing in large-scale immersive and interactive environments.
