Research Scientist Intern, Body Capture, Reconstruction and Rendering (PhD)

Marin City, CA

The Reality Labs (RL) Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including computer vision, graphics, body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. The Virtual Humans team in Sausalito, CA, Redmond, WA and Zurich, CH work on cutting-edge research and development focusing on virtual people and presence. We envision a world where people connect across vast distances so our roles focus on capturing, evaluating and modeling the full human body shape and motion. We are currently seeking innovative interns with a passion for technology to develop the next generation of virtual humans.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.Research Topics: Virtual humans, animatable avatar creation Full body capture, reconstruction and rendering including dynamic deformations of soft tissues, cloth and hair Pose estimation, shape inference, surface detail reconstruction, photoreal rendering and novel view synthesis * Deep learning applied to image, depth and 3D data for monocular and multi-view stereo reconstruction of dynamic surface Neural representations and deep implicit models
