Description

In 2024, the Ctrl-labs team at Meta Reality Labs published a preprint, introducing the science behind a new neural input device worn on the wrist. This talk will cover the custom Kubernetes-based platform underlying both the research/ML workloads and the data collection. We'll talk about the challenges of serving 'only' hundreds of internal scientists and engineers, while also supporting data collection from thousands of participants. We'll cover the evolution of the services and codebase, the reliability tradeoffs, the growing pains and the custom tools that we had to build.
