Original posting

Visby | Software Engineering | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite Visby is building a new imaging standard for natively 'holographic' displays, like VR, AR, and multi-perspective screens. Our tech is based on the concept of 'light fields,' the set of all light rays passing through a space. By capturing or representing all the light rays, you can determine what a user would have seen from any possible perspective. This is superior to traditional, 3D model-based imaging, because it doesn't look like a video game. Our approach is more photographic than other approaches, and leads to realistic images. While most of the work is software, we do have a huge pile of cameras and work closely with the film industry. The problem space is very complex, involving the latest math and algorithms, and combining ideas from a huge, dizzying number of technical fields. So you don't need to be an expert in everything to apply, just have a passion for hard problems, be willing to work on a team, and be excited to learn (and teach). We have three open positions, but we will try to build a role for the right candidate. Algorithms Engineer, Light Field Imaging: https://jobs.lever.co/visby/5f861491-fe0f-4003-99ab-01f9456a...
