Since the VR industry is still so new it doesn’t really have its own dedicated awards show just yet. In fact, until very recently, the decades-old game industry hasn’t even really had its own awards show either, but The Game Awards has a done a good job over the last several years representing the most notable releases and accomplishments. In the VR scene we have The Proto Awards, the Unity Vision Summit is known to recognize plenty of VR, as well as the D.I.C.E. Awards, but now, announced earlier this year, The VR Awards aim to take the crown as the premiere award event for immersive technology and experiences.
With well over 20 judges from a wide variety of companies such as AMD, VR Scout, the Venture Reality Fund, and several other investors, speakers, and entrepreneurs, the industry is well-represented. The VR Awards are being held this October 9th by event organizers VR Bound, in collaboration with newly announced primary partners, HP, AMD, and Foundry.
They’ve also released a shortlist of nominees in 12 different categories including headset of the year, mobile headset of the year, game of the year, innovative VR company of the year, and most creative use of marketing. You can see the full list of categories and nominees right here.
