We provide each team 50,000JPY(or more) of the production cost support if the project of the team is recognized as "good for realization" in the presentation examination. (Add to the basic 50,000JPY, the additional amount is distributed proportionally up to 50,000JPY depending on the result of the presentation vote.) The excellent staff of IVRC mainly consists of the top level researchers in the frontier such as virtual reality, and they keep contact with the participants for a long period of half a year from the planning stage to end of the production. The reason of such a rare system is that the purpose of this contest is for the team members not only to make products with the cost support, but also to grow as engineers, researchers, and artists related to VR through this contest. IVRC has produced excellent works based on this solid system, and many products have exhibited in the SIGGRAPH in the U.S.A., which is the world best event of CG and Interactive technologies. "Virtual Chanbara"(Winner of IVRC2000) exhibited in SIGGRAPH 2002, "THE DIMENSION BOOK"(Winner of IVRC2002) in SIGGRAPH 2003, "Dis-tansu"(IVRC2003) in SIGGRAPH 2004, "Conspiration"(Winner of IRC2004), "Kobito -Virtual Brownies-"(IVRC2004), and "Ton-Ton"(IVRC2004) in SIGGRAPH 2005, "bubble cosmos"(Winner of IVRC2005), "Splash Fishing"(IVRC2005), and "INVISIBLE -Shadow Chaser-"(IVRC2005) in SIGGRAPH 2006. IVRC provides the cost support and helps to exhibit in this SIGGRAPH for the overall winning team.
Overall winner award: Extra prize 500,000JPY(For the externship in SIGGRAPH 2006)(*1) Moreover, we have begun the cooperation with the Laval Virtual, which is the European largest virtual reality related event, since IVRC 2003. The team which gains the Laval Virtual award in IVRC is invited to the Laval Virtual collegiate contest.(As the same, IVRC Awarded team in Laval Virtual collegiate contest is invited to the IVRC final contest.) Previously, "Furegura"(2003), "Dis-Tansu"(2003), "Conspiratio"(2004), "Splash Fishing"(2005), and "INVISIBLE -Shadow Chaser-"(2005) have invited to the Laval Virtual. (*1) If no team member participates the SIGGRAPH 2005, the extra prize is dismissed. In the case the travel fee is lesser than 500,000JPY, the amount of difference belongs to the winning team. (*2) We support the exhibit in SIGGRAPH, and also in international or natinal VR events such as the Industrial Virtual Reality Expo & Conference in Tokyo Big-site. Though, because there is an examination for the SIGGRAPH exhibits, it is not the assurance of the exhibit.
If no member participates the event, each prize is dismissed. |
