Redpill VR is a social VR music experience platform, similar in concept to Wave (formerly known as TheWaveVR). According to their website:
Redpill VR recently closed its Series B funding in early 2019 through a private strategic investor. We are currently building an Unreal 4 VR development team for our Los Angeles studio and are hiring for the following positions:
- Senior Gameplay Programmer
- Senior Environment Artist
- Technical Designer
- Senior Artist
- UI Artist
- Character Animator
- Senior Network Programmer
- Audio Programmer
- Character Artist
- Technical Artist
- Build Engineer
Hmmm…sounds to me like they still need to hire a whole lot of people to actually build the damn thing! There’s no indication on the website as to when they expect to launch this platform. However, Redpill VR is already giving early demos to a few people:
Frankly, I wanted to slap this guy for his behaviour (among other things, he makes a remark about sexual harassment in VR which I found rather crude and tasteless). But this video does give you at least an idea of what Redpill VR will be all about, and a few visuals of what it will look like.
Here’s a few more images from their website, which I assume are closer to concept art than screen captures taken from the actual product:
Yet another product to add to my ever-expanding list of social VR/virtual worlds!
