Earlier this month VRFocus reported on Steel Media in association with China’s DeePoon launching a virtual reality (VR) competition called, Global VR Challenge. At the time a panel of judges had reduced the 80 entries received down to a long list of 20. Then last week those 20 went through another round of judging to decide the 10 finalists to go through to the grand final in Shanghai, China. Those finalists have now been revealed.
The 10 finalists heading to China and looking to win part of the $35,000 USD prize pool are:
