VR Awards 2021
Highlights, Media and Extras from 2021
2021 Stand Out Moments
In true VR Awards style, we chose not to accept the physical boundaries bestowed on us when it came to awarding our Accenture VR Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. We holoported Tom Furness into our ceremony world, wherin he delivered a speech to the gathered virtual audience.
// Our biggest celebration yet…
Before kickstarting the live ceremony we wanted to create a shared experience that really utilises the medium of virtual reality within the confines of AltspaceVR.
5 years of the VR Awards meant 5 very special world hop experiences. Thank you to Jenifer Brooks, Mark Gill, Darren Abbott & Tracie O’Neil from the world development team we put together.
A look back at the last 5 years of the VR Awards
5 years is both a long time and a relatively short time in the grand scheme of things. We decided to take a moment to look back on where the VR Awards started and where we are today. Daniel Colaianni, one of the original co-founders of the VR Awards, took to the stage to open the Ceremony. Unlike other years, the speech had a distinctly reminiscent tone, as Daniel looked back on all that the industry has achieved in the last 5 years.

A lot of work goes into producing a virtual event, even more than a physical in-person show! We’d like to give you a bit of an insight into some of the development processes, filming, and production. Due to its technologically challenging nature, over 60 people worked on the production of the VR Awards – with a mixture of online and physically-based teams.
