Zurich, Switzerland
The Reality Labs (RL) organization at Meta is helping people around the world come together and connect through world-class Augmented and Virtual reality (AR/VR) products. With global departments dedicated to research and development in computer vision, machine learning, haptics, social interaction, and more, RL is committed to driving the state of the art forward through relentless innovation. The potential to change the world is immense - and we’re just getting started.
Augmented and Virtual reality will transform the way people come together to work and play. By developing new hardware and software products capable of understanding human appearance, movement and expression, we aim to make it possible for people to feel like they are directly in front of each other, despite being separated by vast distances. By developing new products capable of understanding the human environments, we will enable a metaverse where people can share virtual experiences which interact seamlessly with the real world.
Our XR Tech organisation in Zurich is focused on research and development of machine perception technologies from early concepts to production level across all of Meta’s RL products and surfaces including AR/VR products and Family of Apps (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp).
