Hi there, I wrote this RFP. We like to back strong technical founders, and some may be interested in working in AR/VR like I did years ago. You are right that the software is lacking which is more of an opportunity. Wrt with the market, yes, it is still very nascent, so founders working on this space have to be be very excited and inherently believe in it in the long run.
Technical founder in the VR/AR space here. Not in a rush so have discounted YC in the past, still may be worth a short chat. Use the "Apply" link on the RFS page?
Niantic Labs | Software Engineering or Computer Vision or Robotics | SF, Bay Area | Full time
Since Niantic (maker of Pokemon Go) acquired my startup, Escher Reality (YC S17), we are continuing to build Augmented Reality tech.
We work at the bleeding edge of technology. We tackle everything from highly performant computer vision algorithms on mobile devices to reliable and fast cloud services that manage AR data and sessions
Our stack: Core algorithms in C++ cross-compiled for Android, iOS, and Unity, so we also do work in Objective-C, Swift, Java, and C#. Our service is in GCP, C++, and Java.
If you are interested e-mail us: jobs@escherreality.com and tell us about yourself and side projects you've worked on.
Escher Reality (http://www.escherreality.com/) | Software Engineering or Computer Vision or Robotics | SF, Bay Area | Full time
At Escher Reality (YC S17), we are building the backend for Augmented Reality that manages the digital copy of the real world. We provide APIs and backend services that enable persistent and multi-user AR experiences, so developers don't have to worry about AR data or session management. We are connecting AR worlds and bringing them to the real world.
We are a group of interesting and unique people solving some of the hardest problems in AR. These extend beyond the scope of Stack Overflow questions – and we love it. We are fairly small at the moment, so you'll have a chance to play an important role to shape our culture and product.
