Purchase your ticket today to see the winners announced live!Reviewing the Vision VR/AR Awards 2016 entries made the panel of judges even more excited about the maturity of virtual and augmented reality technology. Although a few ambitious projects caused some slight dizziness, all are pushing the boundaries of immersive content and breaking through to new levels of storytelling, socializing, and entertainment.
The 250 submissions we received are a true-cross section of the industry, as are the impressive finalists. We saw game projects, visual simulations, 360 videos, and a variety of experiences that defy traditional categorization. Our experienced judging panel had their work cut out for them in narrowing the huge number of innovative, engaging, and fun experiences down to only 21 finalists. These finalists were chosen because they are exceptional examples of virtual and augmented reality content.
We are pleased to announce the finalists for the Vision VR/AR Awards 2016:
Vision Inspire Award
Fantastic Contraption by Northway Games & Radial Games
Fantastic Contraption was originally a building game made way back in 2008. Millions of people played it obsessively and saved over 12 million contraptions. You can still play it for free. For years we loved the idea of a three dimensional Fantastic Contraption but just couldn't figure out how it would work. Then we tried the Vive.
The new Fantastic Contraption has been designed from the ground up to be a room-scale VR game. Imagine walking around a grassy island floating in the sky making a contraption the size of a horse with your hands then watching it roll out into the world. It's a VR experience you and your friends will play for hours.
Faster Than Light by Anomaly Productions
Faster Than Light is an augmented reality monthly comic available at local comic retailers and Comixology. Our free companion AR app takes the reading experience to a new level. Watch the captain's log, interact with aliens, read an encyclopedia's worth of backstory and much more. With each monthly comic released, new content is added to the app for an ever expanding universe.
The VERY near future: We discover the secret of faster-than-light travel. Suddenly, the universe is wide open to us, all thanks to genius SAUL FREDRICKS, who made the breakthrough and is touted as the Einstein of our era. His face is everywhere.
With the new technology, we hastily refit the nearly complete first manned Mars Explorer mission with faster-than-light engines and boldly go where no man has gone before. A new hope is felt across all mankind as the IGS DISCOVERY sets off.
But Saul has a dark secret. You see, he's not the genius everyone believes him to be. He was merely the first to successfully interpret a signal we received from outer space in the 1940s. The message contained every bit of technological knowledge from an advanced alien civilization...and a warning...
