Job Description

C++ Software Engineer - Remote (Work from Home)

Mesh is part of the team at Microsoft that engineers HoloLens. Mesh (https://www.mesh.com) is a platform that enables mixed reality (AR/VR) applications to build collaborative experiences. Users who are together in the same space can view holograms together in the same physical space. Users are who apart can experience each others presence through avatars or holoportation while working together in the same virtual space. Behind the scenes, services that bring together users pose (head, body, and hand position), spatial audio, avatar look-and-feel, and holoportation connect with client SDKs to make this happen. To deliver on the user experience, there is a lot of spatial data capture, processing and transmission that must happen in real-time. Mesh is also available cross-platform so that all AR/VR devices can connect to each other, including HoloLens, Oculus Quest, and AR-capable mobile phones.
