VRC is now looking to hire several visualization experts to work on this project. The types of skill set that candidates for these positions should possess include:

• experience with Unity and/or Unreal Engine
• well-versed in anything ‘realtime’ and the technical aspects of the software.
• well-versed in using Blueprints and have at least a moderate knowledge of a programming language such as Python
• as ‘realtime’ programs are, for the most part, built for video games, the applicant needs to be adaptable and well-versed in how these programs operate from a code level to enable applications to other mediums
• wide knowledge of the field, including ‘open’ software ideas based on USD (universal scene description) and interest in upcoming software like Nvidia’s ‘Omniverse.’
