Submissions for the SIGGRAPH VR theatre 2024 have officially opened!
Submit To VR Theater
The SIGGRAPH VR Theater strives to create memorable experiences in a world of immersive storytelling. Ranging in genres from documentaries and dramas to comedies, mystery, and fantasy films, we showcase the very best of the world’s auteurs working in a medium without walls or frames. Through a curated selection of short-form narratives, we aim to provide attendees with a fresh perspective into innovative, important, and inspiring virtual reality stories.
What Is the VR Theater?
The VR Theater is a world-class showcase of exemplary virtual reality storytelling. Our main program will be experienced in a high-end, seated, panoramic, multi-viewer immersive space, running approximately one hour from start to finish.
NEW: This year we will be featuring a mixed reality lobby before each experience.
What Is the VR Theater Looking For?
We wish to elevate pieces that stand out in terms of quality and execution. Selected works will present a mix of experiences from established studios and independent creators, as well as cultural and educational institutions. All submissions should be easily accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to broad audiences. Submitted content will be reviewed by an expert jury who will evaluate each piece based on thematic fit, how it works in the appropriate space, its order of playback, and whether the theatre can respect the viewing format and intended experience.
NEW: This year, we will welcome submissions of mixed reality narratives. If selected as a finalist for the VR Theater, you must submit one (1) optimized 3D asset from your experience, which will be utilized in the SIGGRAPH Mixed Reality lobby experience. It is intended to serve as a symbolic asset from your experience, populating the Mixed Reality environment after your movie has been viewed.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
SIGGRAPH prioritizes conversations and industry contributions that spotlight how diversity, equity, and inclusion makes our communities, industries, and teams stronger. Conference programs provide a safe place to grow, discuss, and learn from one another and to bridge boundaries with the goal of making our community more inclusive and accessible to all. SIGGRAPH encourages submissions that spotlight DEI content across every SIGGRAPH program.
