Store Manager

Sandbox VR Store Manager We're Sandbox VR, the most advanced virtual reality experience in the world. Our mission is to bring people closer together through world-class immersive experiences. When guests step into one of our stores, our full-body motion tracking gear and Hollywood motioncapture cameras make them the stars of their own movies. Groups freely roam our large-open "holodecks" together, relying on each other to succeed in social experiences. Whether it's venturing into space, battling on the high seas, or surviving a zombie apocalypse, our experiences take our guests on a journey they won't forget!
