Summary（岗位介绍）

At Reality Labs, our goal is to invent the user interface technologies that will drive the next generation of augmented-reality experiences. Our aim is to unleash human potential by erasing the bottlenecks between intent and action. As a Research Intern, you will focus on developing novel interactions and interfaces for augmented reality glasses and wearable devices.

We are looking for PhD candidates to work alongside experts researchers, designers, and software engineers. We are open to candidates from a broad scope of relevant backgrounds such as:

- Human-computer interaction

- Computer science

- Software engineering & related engineering fields

- Psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience

- Design

- Game development

- Ergonomics & kinesiology

- Statistics & machine learning

More specifically, we are looking for candidates with background in one or more of the following areas:

- Human-computer interaction (i.e. Input and interaction techniques, Multi-modal input, Adaptive user interfaces & personalization, Mixed-initiative interfaces, Collaborative interactions and multi-user systems, Gesture input and gesture learning)

- Haptics(i.e. Experience design, feedback and guidance, Perception, Haptic hardware prototyping, Wearable haptics)

- Visual interfaces in AR/VR(i.e. 3D user interaction & hybrid interfaces, Immersion, presence & agency, Locomotion & navigation, 360 environments & videos)

- Software engineering (i.e. Software architecture and design patterns, Application frameworks, Desktop, mobile and web platform development, Game development)

- Accessibility in AR/VR(i.e. Assistive pointing techniques and technology, Assistive technologies such as screen readers, mobility aids, or braille interfaces, Fitness technology and/or exergaming, Game Balancing)

- Sensors and hardware (i.e. Prototyping, Wearables, Eye tracking, Graphics and audio)

- User-centered machine learning (i.e. Predictive modeling, Intent modeling, Computational interaction, Computer vision)

Our internships are sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. This position is based in Redmond, WA.
