The World VR Forum<\/a> was, as reported, very international. In addition to the high-calibre speakers at the conference, there were numerous projects at the festival from all over the world. The artists behind them all wanted to win one of the coveted prizes:<\/p>\n

Imperial Crown<\/p>\n

Best Interactivity - Best Photography - Best Story - Best Documentary - Best User Experience - Best Acting - Best Sound Design - Best CGI<\/p>\n

There was also a special prize for education and innovation. There were too many to visit them all. But I was able to take away a few impressions.<\/p>\n

From depressive...<\/h3>\n

The so-called Imperial Crown - i.e. the main prize - was won by After Solitary<\/a> - a very depressing piece. The documentary tells a true story about an inmate of the US State Prison. It shows in a depressing way how he lived in seclusion in his cell and how he continued to have severe problems after he was released. Although the story was very gripping, I was personally surprised that it won, as in my opinion there were better things to see in terms of VR.<\/p>\n

For an equally depressing theme and a rather boring VR experience, the Italian production Lost Memories<\/a> take a look inside. The poetic project draws attention to the countless refugees trying to reach Europe via the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

... to the colourful, psychedelic VR world<\/h3>\n

The music animation offered the pure opposite Chocolate<\/a> - also from an American house. The artist has reached deep into the colour pot and the bag of tricks and has made cats dance around you in an orderly hullabaloo. The psychedelic video was praised by many. From the same artist - no less colourful - was the Mini Game Waba<\/a>. In the game, you had to wake up and feed a cute flabby little guy. The game was reminiscent of Tamagotchi.<\/p>\n
