The first round of judging of the Oculus Mobile VR Jam is over, and we now have our finalists—a total of 61 submissions split between two tracks, Games and App/Experiences.
Oculus first went over each and every one of the 307 entries, looking for “fun and innovative ideas” via videos, images, and descriptions of the Game or App/Experience. The builds were verified for functionality, but none were played or experienced for content.
We’ve poured over your submissions to make sure each one was reviewed by a least three judges in Round 1, scoring them based on promise and innovation and selecting the top 20% of submissions in each track.
So here are your 2015 Mobile VR Jam Finalists…
