No, Peter Chou isn’t leaving HTC. As the company is gearing up to launch its virtual reality platform (and another flagship phone) later this year, the co-founder has decided to pick up a second role at renowned visual effects company, Digital Domain, to strengthen his company’s VR know-how. That’s according to a statement from HTC, anyway. For those who don’t know, Digital Domain is the digital production house behind movies like Iron Man 3 (seems like HTC just can’t get enough of Robert Downey Jr.), Her and Tron: Legacy. It also made animated clips in games including Assassin’s Creed Unity, Destiny and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Chou will officially join the Hong Kong-owned company as an executive director on August 31st, but it’ll obviously be a while before we see what this will bring to the HTC Vive.
