Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) is in the event of assembling a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create a great new world of virtual and augmented reality, which combined will become as accessible, attainable and vital as smartphones and personal computers are today.
This program focuses on technologies needed to make a breakthrough in AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence.
Liquid Crystal (LC) research is one of several research areas in the AR and VR Optics and Display group in FRL. The goal of LC research is to develop advanced LC optics and display technologies and to integrate them with existing and emerging AR/VR optical and display solutions. It aims to provide better user experience, enable breakthroughs in the AR/VR optical design space, and help pave the way to AR glasses and next-generation VR headsets.
