The VRA’s are imminent, and as we approach what is believed to be a first of its kind – an awards ceremony held entirely in VR – here are the details of the developers that made the short lis plus where you can watch the event live.
The Virtual Reality Awards, created to recognise outstanding achievements in the wide field of virtual reality, will kick off it’s inaugural ceremony tonight. The event is being held within VR, hosted entirely within the social broadcasting application Riftmax. It’s thought the event is the first of it’s kind, so the Riftmax team may be making history tonight.
Those not on the guest list for attending in virtual reality itself, can catch the event via more traditional means by streaming via the Riftmax Hitbox channel.
