Port 6 builds tools for making natural and intuitive human-computer interactions. We think that the motor channel is underutilized for interactions in virtual worlds. To allow for better interactions, we must build a better hand model, and here's where we want you to shine. At Port 6, you will be working in our interaction laboratory to transform biometric data into liberating and powerful interactions that feel nothing short of pure magic.
Data is the cow, and you'll get to be Gordon Ramsay.
At the core of the work will be the research of bleeding edge of analyzing and understanding biometric data, and the development of highly effective collection, training and testing pipelines for the purpose of utilizing the data in controlling user interfaces, playing games, making beautiful and using other apps. You will work closely with our interaction and hardware teams to design and implement the use of software in custom input hardware.
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.
