This position is offered through the ANU Computing Internship courses (COMP4820 / COMP8830).
Semester 2, 2026 applications open on Monday 18th May 2026 and close on Sunday 31st May 2026.
Company
developXR is a small Canberra-based startup building augmented reality solutions for the construction industry. We work across spatial computing, computer vision, and BIM/CAD integration, building primarily in Unity with OpenXR for devices like HoloLens 2 and Meta Quest 3.
Project
This project gives the student hands-on experience with commercial AR head-mounted displays such as Meta Quest 3 or Samsung Galaxy XR. This project involves building and testing a spatial computing feature (like spatial anchoring or object tracking) using the Unity Engine on the headset. The student will gain practical experience in spatial computing, real-time 3D development, and device integration that is difficult to access in a university setting. The deliverable is a working Unity prototype with documentation and a short evaluation report.
Required technical skills
- Experience with C# and the Unity editor, with prior XR experience would be helpful
- Version control with Unity Version Control or Git. Any familiarity with Azure Spatial Anchors SDK, AR Foundation, MRTK, or Visual Studio is a bonus.
- Some exposure to spatial computing concepts like SLAM or 6DoF tracking is useful but not required.
Required/preferred professional and other skills
- Computer vision fundamentals and real-time application development.
