Port 6's goal is to build the leading augmented reality interaction laboratory in Europe over the next year. A time machine over and into the next leap in human cognition since the invention of the personal computer. At Port 6, you will be working in our interaction laboratory to create novel and custom hardware to do interactions that feel nothing short of pure magic. This includes the entire process from ideation and prioritization down to execution and delivery of electronics for research use.
At the core of the work will be the development of custom hardware devices for the use in Augmented Reality user interfaces, games, and apps. You will work closely with our interaction team to design the use of custom input hardware with technical requirements that are most crucial to the demos we build, and the future of augmented reality.
You will be challenged to solve problems that have never been solved before - but you'll always get to do it together with the team.
And also, you will get a chance to own a part of the company.
