    VIRTUAL REALITY INDUSTRY LEADERS COME TOGETHER TO CREATE NEW ASSOCIATION

    DECEMBER 7, 2016

    CALIFORNIA — Acer Starbreeze, Google, HTC VIVE, Facebook’s Oculus, Samsung, and Sony Interactive Entertainment today announced the creation of a non-profit organization of international headset manufacturers to promote the growth of the global virtual reality (VR) industry. The Global Virtual Reality Association (GVRA) will develop and share best practices for industry and foster dialogue between public and private stakeholders around the world.

    The goal of the Global Virtual Reality Association is to promote responsible development and adoption of VR globally. The association’s members will develop and share best practices, conduct research, and bring the international VR community together as the technology progresses. The group will also serve as a resource for consumers, policymakers, and industry interested in VR.

    VR has the potential to be the next great computing platform, improving sectors ranging from education to healthcare, and contribute significantly to the global economy. Through research, international engagement, and the development of best practices, the founding companies of the Global Virtual Reality Association will work to unlock and maximize VR’s potential and ensure those gains are shared as broadly around the world as possible

    What sounds strange to me is that M$ isn't part of the team... well, they're pursuing the augmented reality path...

    Interestingly HTC is a partner, but Valve itself is not part of the consortium. It is actually Valve who develop the technical innovation the Vive uses for VR.

    I heard there is an awards organisation in the pipeline.

    The Virtual International Association of Gaming Reality Awards.

    It's really hard to win though and the award only last's for about 12 hours....
