It’s time to reveal our eight person jury, who will be voting on the nominees for the first-ever Viveport Developer Awards (VDAs). These eight jurors, along with your Viveport Community Choice vote, will determine the ultimate winners of a total of $500,000 in cash and prizes that will be revealed in January 2017. Twenty apps were nominated for their pioneering work in VR that best represent four of the key pillars of the Viveport platform: Explore, Experience, Create and Connect.
The judges include:
Brent Bushnell, CEO of Two Bit Circus
Marcie Jastrow, SVP Immersive Media and Head of Technicolor Experience Center, Technicolor
Geoff Keighley, Journalist and Executive Producer of the Video Game Awards
Nathaniël de Jong (Nathie), VR Content Creator on YouTube

Justin Roiland, Writer/Animator and Co-Creator of Rick and Morty
Taryn Southern, internet personality and founder of Tribe of Good
Reggie Watts, Comedian/Musician CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden and Netflix’s SPATIAL
Don’t forget – whatever our jurors decide, the community has their choice too. One of our VDA nominees could win a $10,000 bonus prize if they get the most votes from you, our community members.
