“Virtual Reality Contest: Stories from ancient China” was the very first VR contest organized by the Pao Yue-Kong Library and Department of Electronic and Information Engineering. A series of cultural talks and workshops equipped the students with skills to embark on VR creation. Through the competition, the students fostered deep learning about VR technology, further appreciation of stories from ancient China and also learnt to work closely with team members from different faculties.

The award ceremony was held on 18 July 2018 in the Digital Visualisation Room (i-Space, 4/F). 17 groups participated in the contest which ended in June 2018. A total of 6 teams won prizes in the contest. Congratulations to our winners!

The champion’s entry was also showcased at the First International Children VR Film Fest held at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 27 to 31 July 2018.
