Digital Catapult and Arts Council England announced the 20 CreativeXR teams to watch out for in 2018, as they receive support in developing innovative immersive prototypes and projects. CreativeXR is a new programme enabling the UK’s arts and cultural sector to lead the field in immersive content creation and digital innovation.
These CreativeXR teams will have the opportunity to pitch at a final showcase and market in March 2018, which will be attended by partners including Google, BBC, Sky, Sony, ARTE, HTC Vive and many more.
It supports new creative content formats enabled by immersive (virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)) technology. CreativeXR gives teams the platform to focus on R&D and develop riskier, content-driven projects that contribute to developing new skills, tools and business opportunities.
CreativeXR received over 1,000 registrations of interest and over 250 applications for its Open Call, demonstrating the appetite for the programme among both the UK’s immersive content community and more broadly across sectors and communities, from theatre to art, music, education, and gaming.
The 20 successful applicants have been offered up to £20,000 of funding to develop their immersive prototype, alongside workshops with industry leaders to help with key elements of concept development. They have also been granted access to Digital Catapult Immersive Labs in London, Brighton, North East Tees Valley and Belfast.
