From 13 – 15 September 2019 we at the Multimedia Department at the University of Pretoria hosted our first-ever VR Jam. Taking inspiration from Game Jams and Hackathons, teams of developers were given a topic and three days to create a VR experience that explored this topic in their own way. Teams were given access to HTC Vive Pro headsets, high-end PCs to power them, and lots of pizza and snacks to power them through the weekend.
The topic for this VR Jam was: “Anything but first-person”. The result of the weekend was three games that explored this topic in very different ways. The judging panel was comprised of one representative each from University of Pretoria, Vega, 5DT, and InsideData Pty Ltd. The winning group went home with R5000.
We would like to thank our sponsors for the event:
