Participants in the challenge will create an AR or VR experience that narrates what’s going on in a documentary style. You can think as big as climate change and it’s effects in your area or as narrow as an issue in a smaller community you are a part of. We’re going to use alternate realities to increase empathy and bring viewers closer to the epicenter. 

At the kickoff event, we will provide you with all the tools needed to tackle the project over the following three weeks. You can expect to learn how to use VR & AR to change the way you share experiences and tell stories.​​

Our higher education collaboration with Digital Hollywood allows us to offer extremely discounted passes for both Students & Faculty to attend this bi-annual conference in October and May. The participating panels and events can also be streamed live through the Digital Hollywood site.
