The Reality Labs org aims to connect people from all over the world through world-class AR/VR hardware and software. Our XR Spatial AI team explores, develops, and delivers new cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundation of current and future Meta products. Specifically, our engineering and research topics cover broad Scene Understanding and Rendering from core perception technology Depth Inference, Semantic Segmentation, Semantic Keypoint to end-to-end features on Passthrough, Occlusion, Room Layout Estimation, and 3D Object Detection. Our team is focused on taking new technologies from early concept to the product level while iterating, prototyping, and realizing the developer and user value and related new experiences.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

About Meta:
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
