Review DIVR Science Award 2018 & 2019<\/span><\/h1>\n

This year again, the DIVR Science Award will be presented in Gelsenkirchen-\u00dcckendorf. Together with the German Institute for Virtual Realities, we are looking for university projects that produce real innovation in your research.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588941215404{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The first Places _ VR Festival in 2018 was also the occasion and location of the first award ceremony of the prize. Back then, it was called the DIVR Award. The search was on for VR applications that provide a positive impact on the public interest. The team around Prof. Chris Wickenden of the skip institut<\/a> at the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences Cologne, was chosen as the winner. The purpose of the winning project \u201cDIP – Digital Integration Project<\/a>\u201d was to research how VR can facilitate access to language and culture for refugees in Germany.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the DIVR Science Award was presented at a separate event at the Gelsenkirchen Science Park. The event was combined with a major networking event organized by Medien.NRW. More than 50 applications from all over Germany and 20 shortlisted projects, which came to Gelsenkirchen with their VR application, have shown, that the award offers a valuable platform for students, PhD students, professors as well as universities. Besides the award ceremony, especially the exchange and the networking factor are enormously valuable for researchers in the field of VR and AR. In 2019, the award was presented in three categories:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588941491942{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
