Job Description

The Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) research team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done for the past 45 years, AR and VR is ultimately going to change everything in the way we work, play and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable revolutionary AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interfaces, haptic interaction, eye / hand / face / body tracking, the science of perception, and true telepresence. Some of these will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR which is so compelling it becomes a part of our lives. In particular, the FRL Research audio team focuses on two objectives; create virtual sounds that are noticeably indistinguishable from reality and redefine human hearing.
