Description

Title: Software Engineer - AR/VR Graphics

We propose investigating the feasibility of running Quest applications on PC or Cloud without recompiling them, leveraging FB gaming infrastructure. Hopefully this will also be a foundational step toward an XR Omni-Runtime, which will accelerate development and ease maintenance of VR HMDs, VR Cloud, and AR glasses. Besides this being an opportunity to deliver future BYOC cloud based VR, there’s an immediate business demand to trial Quest games without purchase or

download. Under discussion with FB Games, we understand that they can run Android apps in the cloud on X86 architecture with a 10-15% performance hit when compared to the app compiled natively on that architecture.

Milestones

Run Quest applications on a local PC. This would likely involve no input andonly visual output on the PC.

Create a fully functioning system where inputs are sent from HMD to PC & visuals are displayed on the HMD. We will accept lower performance, latency, and reduced functionality in favor of quickly achieving full functionality. Multiple development paths are possible:

Link / AirLink, Cloud Link full offload, FB Gaming, Rift / Rift S

Measure with detailed breakdown and improve performance, latency, and functionality so most games can be played without discomfort

Identify initial launch target (from a-c above) and develop ship plan
