Summary（岗位介绍）
In Mixed Reality, people—not devices—are at the center of everything we do. Our tech moves beyond screens and pixels, creating a new reality aimed at bringing us closer together—whether that’s scientists “meeting” on the surface of a virtual Mars or some yet undreamt-of possibility. To get there, we’re incorporating groundbreaking technologies, including computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and more.
We’re a growing team of talented engineers, program managers, and artists putting technology on a human path across all devices, including Microsoft HoloLens, phones, tablets, desktops, and Xbox. We are building the metaverse so that everyone on the planet can engage in the next wave of computing. Our team has people from a wide variety of backgrounds, identities, previous work histories, life experiences, and we are eager to maintain and grow that diversity. Our varied backgrounds and unique experiences enable us to be better at building the best solutions for our customers and make for dynamic and joyful collaborations with colleagues!
Mesh (https://www.mesh.com) is a platform that enables mixed reality (AR/VR) applications to create collaborative experiences -- it is the foundation for building the metaverse. Users who are in the same space can view holograms together in a shared experience. Users are who are apart can experience each-others presence through avatars or holoportation while working together in the same virtual space, or engage with persisted holographic content placed by someone else. We are the Mesh Presence AI team responsible for the science, services, and SDKs that bring together users' pose (head, body, and hand position), spatial audio, avatar look-and-feel, 2D/3D holoportation, and facial expressions.
