Meta AR/VR Job | Audio Systems Engineer
Job（岗位）: Audio Systems Engineer
Type（岗位类型）: Hardware
Citys（岗位城市）: Pittsburgh, PA
Date（发布日期）: Before 2021-12-14
Summary（岗位介绍）
Facebook Reality Labs is dedicated to the research and development required to bring virtual and augmented reality to billions of people around the world. We aspire to a vision of social VR and AR, where people are able to interact with each other across distances in a way that is indistinguishable from in-person interactions.
We are looking for a talented Audio Systems Engineer to accelerate the progression to authentic social presence in virtual and augmented reality. In our current pipeline, a multitude of sensing components, including image sensors, microphones, speakers and inertial measurement units are installed on the prototype multi-sensor capture systems in order to collect a rich suite of information that reflects the user’s physical state, with an emphasis on modality synchronicity and latency minimization; this information is then processed by our state-of-the-art algorithms to allow for a computational representation of the user.
