HP Labs Research Intern

Our vision is to create technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere — every person, every organization, and every community around the globe. This motivates us — inspires us — to do what we do.

The newly formed Immersive Experiences Lab of HP Inc. in Palo Alto is look­ing for talented individuals to work with a multidisciplinary team that shapes the future of user interfaces and user experience of the next generation of company products. Our team is a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary group who are explor­ing the future of human sensing and interaction technologies and developing demonstrators of contextual, fluid, and predictive interfaces and blended reality experiences.

We are looking for highly motivated designers, user researchers, com­puter sci­en­tists and engi­neers who can work closely together through­out the devel­op­ment process. Within the group, this runs from drawing insights from user stud­ies, to build­ing novel pro­to­type soft­ware or hardware, to run­ning pilots, and eval­u­at­ing new con­cepts and technologies.

HP has an impressive portfolio and strong innovation pipeline across areas such as:

• Blended reality technology - our unique Sprout by HP will change the way people do things
• 3D printing
• Multi-function printing
• Ink in the office
• Tablets, phablets, notebooks
