Meta's Reality Labs (RL) is working to bring people together through advanced Augmented and Virtual reality (AR/VR) products. With a focus on research and development in areas like computer vision, machine learning, and haptics, RL is committed to driving innovation forward. The potential for AR/VR to change the way we interact with each other is immense. By developing new hardware and software products that can understand human appearance, movement, and expression, we aim to make it possible for people to feel like they are directly in front of each other, even if they are separated by vast distances.Our goal is to enable a metaverse where people can share virtual experiences that interact seamlessly with the real world. To achieve this, our XR Codec Interactions and Avatars organization is focused on developing technologies that enhance social presence and interaction through Codec Avatars and other advanced XR technologies. Your job will involve managing and partnering with groups that work on projects ranging from research to product development. You will be in charge of our technical investment portfolio, which supports our Calibration team.
