The AIXR XR Awards sit at the heart of recognising excellence in virtual and augmented reality. Now part of United XR, we’ve joined forces with AWE and Stereopsia’s European XR Awards to expand our global reach. For the first time, we’re combining awards into a single XR Awards Gala.

More than just a red carpet event, it’s a culmination of year-round international efforts to spotlight outstanding work and connect the most influential voices across the industry.
