Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) teams are looking for exceptional interns to help us create next generation virtual and augmented reality input technologies. Join a full-stack team working on computer vision, machine learning, real-time state estimation, geometric and appearance modeling, physically-based modeling, sensor design and fusion, and human computer interaction. We are accepting applications from students interested in (but not limited to) the following areas:- Optical tracking of hands, bodies and objects and their interactions through state estimation and machine learning- Representation modeling (e.g. appearance, geometry) of hands, bodies and objects for fast simulation and tracking- Physical simulation of soft contact, deformation models for grasp- Sensor fusion (e.g. of pressure, RF, EXG, IMU) with optical tracking- Design and fast evaluation of deep neural networks- Interaction design for hands and bodies in virtual reality and augmented reality

Responsibilities

• Design and execution of algorithms in the domain of computer vision, real-time state estimation, machine learning, geometric or appearance modeling (computer graphics), sensor fusion, or HCI Software and hardware prototyping, system-building
• Design user studies and experiments
• Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines
• Communication of research agenda, progress, and results
  

Minimum Qualification

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Applied Math or a related STEM field
