Jason Cooper is the Chief Digital Officer at Horizon Productions, where he leads the company's emerging technology, realtime, and immersive practice. Over the last two decades, he has evolved this 45-year-old Emmy-winning production company into one of the few Gold-tier Unreal Engine Service Partners in the world, and a trusted creative execution partner for Fortune 500 companies, leading research institutions, and government programs.

Jason's work exists at the intersection of emerging technology and creative craft — finding great problems to solve, stories worth telling, and the "new magic" to bring it all to life. At Horizon, this means VR, AR, realtime, and AI-driven experiences across visualization, training, research, marketing, education, and filmmaking. He's tackled some of the field's most complex problems: digital twins of the world's first 3D-printed bridge; VR for informed consent in clinical trials; immersive journeys inside research happening on some of the world's largest supercomputers; Fortnite to train medical professionals; and immersion therapy for veterans with PTSD.

He's constantly pushing at the edges of what's possible, and occasionally past them.
