AR/VR

We create new, category-defining consumer hardware and software that are immersive, social, and increase the depth of people’s connections. The team is a diverse group of problem solvers, inventors, and proven visionaries who are relentless about transforming every day occurrences into rich experiences that have the potential to improve the way billions of people live.

We’ve introduced our first generation of Oculus virtual reality products and are committed to driving the technology forward through continued innovation at Facebook Reality Labs. In the future, our AR glasses will merge the physical and digital worlds, blending what’s real with what’s possible, resulting in the next mainstream, must-have, wearable consumer technology.

Facebook Reality Labs brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today – and just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough 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. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives, and we are making all of them happen.

Facebook Reality Labs has offices across the U.S., including in Redmond, Washington; Sausalito and Menlo Park, California; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
