tl;dr:

I'm looking for intelligent and self-motivated people interested in learning about how to programme VR apps with OpenXR (with OpenGL) over the summer (and possibly beyond). I'm particularly interested in creating a game engine for non-euclidean worlds. This is a voluntary role that requires no serious commitments. It is likely to be a good fit for anyone that: thinks they want to become a software engineer; is already a software engineer early in their career; would like to get into VR and/or game development. We'll meet up in person for up to ~8 hours a week in the evenings (maybe optional weekends) to research, teach, learn, share, programme, etc. You are welcome to do as much or as little as you like. You do not need any VR experience whatsoever, and you don’t need to be a particularly good programmer. If you’re thinking about applying because you think it’ll look good on your CV please don’t.

Salary:

None (this is a voluntary and mutual learning opportunity).

Requirements:

Desire to learn about VR and to become a better programmer.
Able to meet in person in early evenings (Monday-Thursday) in Leeds City Centre or Headingley.
Probably 16+, but I might say 18+. To be clear, I'm in my mid 20s and have an up to date DBS.
You should be able to write at least a hello world programme in a language of your choice.

Responsibilities:

Writing C/C++ code (no C/C++ experience is required but it's desirable and will be helpful).
Researching OpenXR (and OpenGL)

Probable Candidates:

Professional programmers between jobs.
Students.
Anyone with a strong desire to get into VR and/or game development.
Really, if you've read this far you're probably a good fit.

About Me:

I'm an embedded software engineer in Leeds working for a startup. I have previously worked as a data analyst, full stack web dev and desktop library developer. I'm looking for people that would like to do amazing things with VR and become a great programmer in the process.
