Oculus Mobile VR Jam 2015 Winners Announced
Today, Oculus announced the winners of the Mobile VR Jam 2015. With more than 1,000 developers from around the world participating, and over 300 entries competing for a chance to win $1,000,000 in cash prizes, a total of 27 winners divided among two category tracks—Games, and App/Experiences—were officially declared victorious.
The biggest prize of $200,000 in the Games category goes to SteamCrew VR from developer Aurelien Kerbeci. The game is described as a “Steampunk-themed, arcade cooperative submarine game” that immerses two players to work together to explore for treasure, hunt, and survive. “It’s a hilariously good time that highlights just how great VR can be when immersed in a new world with friends,” said Oculus.
Top prize of $100,000 in App/Experiences category was The Night Cafe from developer Mac Cauley. The immersive VR experience allows users to explore the inspired world of Vincent van Gogh, as the artist’s famous paintings come to life in the most unique way that would not be possible without virtual reality.
