Meta Hiring for Visiting Researcher, 3D Computer Vision (PhD) at Jackson, Mississippi Full Time

Summary:

Reality Labs at Meta is developing technologies, hardware, and experiences to work towards our long-term goal of creating the Metaverse. Our organization produces VR headsets (Quest 1 and 2) that are affordable and enjoyable by millions using software to outperform more expensive solutions. Additionally, we are developing AR headsets which will hopefully enable a new computing platform and be a new tool to explore the world. Creating all of this requires a symphony of collaboration between hardware, software engineers, designers, and researchers to push the state-of-the-art in computer vision, graphics, cartography, and optics.The Offline Mapping Team within Reality Labs and the XR Maps organization develops the mapping software that enables Meta headsets to map and remember their environments. This is a critical role in the Metaverse as we provide an essential service required for rendering anything; a common coordinate system. We are developing large scale mapping algorithms that generate digital twins of the real world. We are involved in the development of all Meta AR, VR, and Mixed Reality products so that one day they can all fluidly communicate together and connect the real world with its digital reality.
