Meta AR/VR Job | Visiting Researcher, Physics Simulations and Computer Graphics (PhD)
Job（岗位）: Visiting Researcher, Physics Simulations and Computer Graphics (PhD)
Type（岗位类型）: Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-3-3
Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives.
At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences.
We are looking for a skilled and motivated Visiting Researcher to join our team, whose mission is to help us push the state-of-the-art of the simulatable in real time, bringing rich, multi-physics, and high-fidelity simulations to virtual interactions. We are specifically looking for a candidate with experience in physics simulations and computer graphics who can work with a team of researchers developing state-of-the-art numerical methods to unlock realistic and natural virtual interactions. More broadly, the chosen candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and testing facilities.
