Devs, start your engines. Now that the Oculus Rift DK2 is reaching the hands of excited developers around the globe, the VR media community is ready to unveil the Virtual Reality Awards, coming live to Riftmax theater.
We are pleased to announce that the very first award event solely dedicated to virtual reality will take place within virtual reality this November.
This night will celebrate the very best in VR development and shine a light on the industry as a whole. With thanks to the Riftmax development team the event will be hosted live within VR on a custom stage. A virtual award will be presented to the winning developers who will be welcomed onto the stage to say a few words about their achievement. Think of this event like the VR Oscars but with geeky humor.
Co-presenting the Virtual Reality Awards will be Reverend Kyle, host of the Rev VR podcast and member of the Road to VR team, and Sandra Whelan, the Irish voice of VirtualRealityReviewer.com.
The whole event will be streamed live through YouTube, Twitch, and Hitbox with special live screenings in Riftmax which you can attend. There will also be after-show events where you can meet the developers and VR personalities.
More details to follow in the coming weeks.
