It's that time of year - we are looking for PhD interns to join the Applied Perception Science team at Meta in 2024! Come work with my team and I on the latest questions at the intersection of AR and VR displays and human vision!

Why is eye tracking a good solution for interactions for the new Orion AR glasses just announced at Meta Connect? We have a new paper in press that explored how targeting objects at different depths impact performance in XR! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Some super cool work from @Coutinho_JD , @GunnarBlohm @doug_munoz, Philippe Lefèvre and Jeff Huang! Never considered a potential main-sequence-like dynamic relationship for pupil responses before. Neat model.

New paper! See Charlie's great thread below, plus here are my thoughts on our latest contribution dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36499… 1/
New paper alert! @RealityLabs
Eye gaze in everyday life contains multi-scale temporal dependencies across objects (1-7 fixations into past, depending on task). Akin to natural language.
Key to foundation models for visual understanding in mixed reality

@csburlingham carried out this work on his internship and this follows form our first paper published in March pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… Many thanks to the key contributions from the dream team for this paper: @tsmurdison @XiuyunWu5 and Naveen Sendhilnathan! 4/4

Foveated rendering is a key enabler for spatially realistic real-time VR, but nature hints that a key purpose of peripheral vision is motion perception. Our work on preserving motion perception in AR/VR, to appear in the ACM Transactions on Graphics (SIGGRAPH ‘24) (1/10)

Some highlights:
🔄 Like other movements, eye movements obey conservation of effort / energy optimality 🔄
From phone scrolling to wandering in the woods, people instinctively conserve effort by minimizing ocular range of motion and opting for shorter fixations.📱🌳

👀Just released in PNAS with Meta @RealityLabs. Laziness is unexpectedly central to gaze in everyday life. Mobile eye tracking dataset covers Pokémon GO, LEGO, driving, shopping, and more.💃Game changer for AR & AI research! w/ @MichaelProulx @tsmurdison +

Very proud to finally share this data with the community! Many congrats to former RL intern @csburlingham, who did the work to compellingly describe natural oculomotor orienting behaviors across everyday tasks.

New article in the Extended Reality issue bit.ly/3PdJOLH by Iona R. McLean et al. @UCBerkeley considers the contribution of image minification to discomfort experienced in wearable optics.

My research program has a large focus on perceptual and oculomotor effects related to low persistence :) thank you @ID_AA_Carmack for speaking to this!
No, all modern headsets are “low persistence”, where the image is only displayed for 1-2 milliseconds, and the remainder of the frame time the display is black. Without this, you get a huge amount of motion blur when you turn your head, as in the original DK1.

What’s really cool about this one is you can see the role that retinal slip plays in making this effect more and less obvious when scrolling through 😄
This is an exciting year for interns and postdocs from @RealityLabs at @VSSMtg! We’ve got several posters to show off some of the research in vision science we’ve been doing: 1/
On Tuesday morning, @csburlingham will be presenting his project with @MichaelProulx , @olegkomo, Naveen Sendhilnathan and I on the sequential nature of real-world eye movements: “Oculomotor “laziness” constrains fixation selection in real-world tasks” 5/
VSS friends: Come see Charlie’s poster from his internship with @MichaelProulx at Reality Labs on Tuesday!
Vision tweeple, I will be presenting a poster on research from my internship at Meta Reality Labs on Tuesday morning, with Naveen Sendhilnathan, @olegkomo, @tsmurdison, and @MichaelProulx. If you're interested in eye movements, attention, or motor behavior, check it out! #VSS2023
