XR Prize Challenge: Fight Climate Change
Paid a $100,000 cash prize to the best AR/VR solution built to help fight climate change.
Entering required no purchase or payment of any kind, and paying anything would not have improved an entrant's chances. Each team or organization had to appoint one Representative to act on its behalf, including making the actual submission and confirming every member had read and agreed to the rules; if a team won, it was left to that Representative to decide how to split the prize among members.…
Sought AR, VR and mixed-reality (XR) solutions addressing one of four climate change categories: cutting wasteful transportation and material consumption, visualizing the causes and impacts of climate change, educating people about climate solutions, or helping professionals design and execute better climate fixes. Teams could pair XR technologists with climate change experts.
