Magic Leap will soon test its technology in the real world
If you're in Plantation, Florida, you might be among the first people to see Magic Leap's headset.
We might be getting closer to finally finding out what Magic Leap's mixed-reality headset looks like. The ultra-secretive company has posted a job listing on Glassdoor for a Field Engineer, who'll actually have to drive around with its devices and collect data in real world locations. "Work will entail setting up and using high precision equipment to capture both environments and user behavior in home settings," the listing reads. Magic Leap announced a Star Wars and a Twilio partnership this year, but its technology is still shrouded in mystery even now.
Sadly, the job listing is as vague as the company has been these past years and it's hard to deduce much from what's written in it. One thing's clear, though: the new hire will be based out of the company's headquarters in Plantation, Florida, so folks living could get the first glimpse at Magic Leap's mixed-reality device.
Here's the listing in full:
"This position involves collecting data with Magic Leap devices in real world locations. Work will entail setting up and using high precision equipment to capture both environments and user behavior in home settings. Applicants will be based at Magic Leap Headquarters in Plantation, and drive with equipment to nearby locations for data collection.
A successful applicant will be comfortable working with complex hardware and software, be able to debug common problems, and meticulous with logging of collection data so that all collected data is usable. Some experience working with Linux command line tools is a plus.
Additional Information."
