The IEEE VGTC Virtual Reality Academy
The Virtual Reality Academy is a prestigious academy that highlights the accomplishments of the leaders in the field. Since awards are limited in number, the field should recognize significant contributions and the academy is a mechanism for recognizing such contributions. The goal is to recognize those in the field who exceed or augment the criteria of existing VGTC awards.
Nominations can be made here: nomination form.
