March 15 Deadline To Compete In Nvidia VR Showcase
Have a great idea for augmented or virtual reality? Here’s your chance to share it with the world, and even win $30,000 in cash and prizes, at an upcoming VR contest.
The VR Content Showcase is an opportunity for 10 startups, universities or individuals to gain global recognition for innovation in augmented or virtual reality. The event will take place at the GPU Technology Conference, running May 8-11, 2017, which draws thousands of developers, researchers and innovators to Silicon Valley annually.
During the VR contest, 10 selected entrants will pitch their ideas on stage for five minutes to a panel of judges, followed by three minutes of Q&A. They’ll also receive free booth space in the exhibit hall to demo their technology.
The winner will get $30,000 in cash and prizes.
Last year realities.io took home first prize.
“Winning the VR Showcase at GTC was an extra boost forward for Realities.io in many ways!” said Daniel Sproll, CXO, realities.io. “We received valuable feedback from people at the heart of the industry and made many important contacts. It also accelerated many aspects of our business, from fundraising to our photogrammetry processing, thanks to the GPUs that were part of the prize. If you’re looking for a fast track to get your VR company in front of the right people inside the industry, the GTC VR Showcase is the way to go!”
