The Colocation Team will be developing some technologies using signals coming from the mapping core team. You will be responsible for 1P part APIs and algorithms; shared ownership of the 3P API with XR Kit and being an advocate for developer and in user. Ideally breaking down the release into milestones at POEs, 1P API, and 3P API deliverables. Together with the Mapping / Miper organization is positioned to enable semantic and co-watching experiences that will enable mass multiplayer in AR devices, and easy party systems for MR devices that are for fun and productivity. This manager will lead a team to launch and improve colocation APIs to have high success rate through a multitude of algorithms that best fit the application (direct people detection, friend sharing, shared maps (SSA), and cloud mapping approaches (VPS)). Enabling our developers on AR and MR devices to reliably start multiplayer experiences from both Unity and Unreal. In parallel and for the long term development, make colocation a system level service that makes partying up for games as simple as clicking on the person in passthrough. Also provide semantic placement of content that allows users to place their shared screens on walls or desks transparently. Combine these so that Quest products are a premium way to watch videos and play games in a comfortable way with friends.
