Summary（岗位介绍）
Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we're just getting started.
At Facebook Reality Labs, our goal is to explore, innovate, and design novel input devices and user interfaces for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are looking for candidates to conduct research in sensing, tracking, and interaction techniques for next generation computing platforms. Your role will involve the development and evaluation of novel solutions to these problems and will require collaboration with world-leading experts and mentors in the AR/VR, HCI, CV/ML, and engineering fields.
The internship is 12-24 weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
