In January PopCap Games co-founder John Vechey, with help from virtual reality vets Forest Gibson and Jared Cheshier, launched Pluto VR. The nascent startup has ambitious plans to develop new virtual and augmented reality apps for a variety of fields.
“It is a brand new space, with unlimited possibilities,” Vechey told GeekWire.
Vechey says he’s confident the company could start selling apps as soon as next year, but he can’t do it alone. Pluto VR is looking for an Art and UX Director to “set a strong artistic vision that others want to help bring to life.”
The director should have experience in UI/UX and a passion for the craft of art and design.
