Experience

Ian Carlos Campbell has written about consumer technology for over five years, and followed the industry as a fan for at least a decade before that. As a Contributing Reporter at Engadget, Ian covers everything from the latest Instagram update to government speech regulation, but he's particularly interested in the way technology changes the way film and television are made and enjoyed. Prior to working at Engadget, Ian was an Associate Editor at Inverse covering virtual reality, augmented reality, and wearables, and before that he worked with The Verge as part of the inaugural class of Vox Media's Fellowship Program. Ian's work has also appeared at Pocket-lint, Android Police, and dot.LA. When he's not writing, you can typically find Ian at his favorite movie theater or endlessly starting and not finishing video games.
