Reality Labs (RL) teams are looking for exceptional interns to help us create next generation interaction technologies for virtual and augmented reality. Join a full-stack team working on computer vision, machine learning, geometric and appearance modeling, physically-based modeling, sensor design and fusion, and human computer interaction. We are accepting applications from those interested in (but not limited to) the following areas:
*Tracking of hands, bodies and objects and their interactions through machine learning, computer vision and sensor fusion
*Egocentric human action recognition and emotion recognition
*Hand motion sequence modeling for hand-object interaction using deep generative models or physical simulation
*Representation modeling (e.g., implicit, appearance, geometry) of hands, bodies and objects for fast simulation and tracking
*Efficient deep learning (e.g., neural architecture search, sparsity, quantized networks)
*Interaction design for hands, bodies and objects in virtual reality and augmented reality
*Sensor fusion (e.g. of pressure, RF, EXG, IMU) with optical tracking
*Efficient and generalizable detectors for predicting keypoints, segmentations, normals, and depth
*Accurate and efficient 3D representations of deformable shapes such as clothing and hair
