WEVR Launches $1 Million VR Grant Program, Up to $50,000 Available for VR Storytellers
[Philip Lelyveld comment: One of the initiatives that the ETC member companies, including the major Studios, have asked the ETC to pursue is to work with students and faculty to help build out the VR storytelling language and experiment to find what works in VR storytelling. This WEVR effort compliments that as a side benefit of their goal of building out WEVR's library of content.]
WEVR, the Venice, Ca. company formerly known as WemoLab, announced OnWEVR today, a new $1 Million grant program that could net prospective VR content producers anywhere between $5,000 to $50,000 in project funds.
“There really aren’t many funding opportunities for VR storytellers, so we wanted to create something very lightweight that helps producers, helps us, and helps the VR community.”
The proposed project must be a VR experience a few minutes in length and use WEVR’s VR media player software.
