Meta's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Meta are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.Our org, XR Codec Interactions and Avatar, is looking for exceptional research interns to help us create a revolution in virtual reality: achieving true photorealistic telepresence, where you can be with anyone, anywhere, at any time. We have made numerous important advances, and it will take a diverse team with a wide spectrum of skills to accomplish this future. If you have expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, or Computer Graphics, we expect you will find the work here highly intriguing. We regularly publish our work at leading conferences and journals.Come join us as we make photorealistic telepresence in VR happen!Available projects may include, but are not limited to: Neural Rendering and relighting of digital humans Generative AI models for image and video synthesis Motion and behavior synthesis for digital humans VR/AR encoding of social signals Face model reconstruction and tracking Hand model reconstruction and tracking Body model reconstruction and tracking Hair model reconstruction and tracking Cloth model reconstruction and tracking Neural Architecture Search and OptimizationOur internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
