The Challenge
Create an intuitive interface for virtual reality video apps
Prize Overview
The VR Interface Competition is a $10.000 competition, challenging designers and developers from around the world to create an intuitive interface for virtual reality video apps.
The person or team with the best interface receives $7500 in prize money and gets his or her template featured on the Headjack Template Marketplace. The second place winner will receive $2500 in prize money.
The need for this prize
The majority of interfaces we see in the current generation of VR apps are confusing and rather plain. They’re usually not much more than a floating plane with some text on it. With this competition we want to stimulate designers and developers from around the world to come up with fresh ideas about UI’s in VR and create some innovative designs that push the boundaries of this exciting medium.
