• Design, implement, and deploy lightweight scene representations to capture world-facing context signals and enable contextual triggers and panel placement for XR glasses.
• Create suitable ego-centric datasets, as well as the fusion and evaluation of different foundation models for building robust object- and scene-centric representations in real-time.
• Interface these representations with Gemini/Gemma variants. This unlocks powerful context-aware AI capabilities, such as voice-based spatial placement and on-device scene understanding for Spatial Gemini.
