Inaugural Vision VR/AR Awards doled out

Thunderbird named Best VR Experience, Eleanor of Ayer takes Best AR award

Game conferences and awards shows tend to be paired together like VR and AR, so it makes sense that the inaugural Vision VR/AR Summit hosted its own Vision VR/AR Awards show last night. The event was hosted by USC senior research fellow Nonny de la Pena, with finalist for the eight awards determined by a panel of judges including representation from Microsoft, Sony, Oculus, Unity, and more.
