William Stillwell, a long-time Microsoft veteran who announced that he was leaving the company in early August, has now settled into a new position. Stillwell is now at Facebook, working with the Reality Labs team.
Stillwell announced his career change on Facebook, noting that he’ll be working on augmented and virtual reality products. This is a lateral move for him, as he was the principal program manager for mixed reality at Microsoft before he left.
Big day today. As much as I’ve been enjoying the time off, idle hands aren’t my style.
So, excited to say I’ve accepted a new role and am joining the Facebook Reality Labs team! Can’t wait to get started and help build the future of AR/VR— Wall of Bill 🏒🥅 (@wcstillwell) August 31, 2020
Facebook Reality Labs is the new branding for Oculus, the company behind numerous VR products. The company is currently gearing up for Facebook Connect on September 16. This is part of a wider rebranding that now requires Oculus users to log into Facebook to use their devices.
