Summary（岗位介绍）
The Meta Reality Labs Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today.
The focus of our team is on computer graphics with primary research on the efficient synthesis of high-quality images for AR/VR systems. Our current research areas include custom graphics hardware, rendering algorithms for AR/VR, such as ray casting and machine learning based image synthesis, and differentiable & inverse rendering.
For this internship, we are looking for Ph.D. students to investigate various core research problems for physics-based differentiable rendering and inverse rendering, aiming to improve the quality & performance of real object/lighting/scene reconstruction & digitization and enable various high-quality novel AR/VR experiences based on it.
Meta Reality Labs offers internships ranging from twelve (12) to sixteen (16), or twenty-four (24) week periods. We encourage submitting papers to high-ranked computer graphics conferences and journals based on the results of the internship.
