Top 10 Finalists Announced: DeoVR "If You Were Here" Creator Contest

3 hours ago

The wait is over! After a month of incredible submissions and overwhelming support from the VR community, we are thrilled to announce the Top 10 Finalists for the DeoVR "If You Were Here" Creator Contest.

This competition challenged our creators to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling. We weren’t just looking for high-quality footage; we were searching for that magic spark—the feeling of spatial presence ("I am here") and emotional connection ("I am being seen").

The response was phenomenal, and these ten videos stood out by capturing the true essence of what it means to be "present" in VR.
