VRLA 2018 - Avatars IRL! XPrize Competition

Presented at VRLA in the Dell Theater on May 5th, 2018. Have you ever wondered how to transport yourself to another place? Our ability to physically experience another geographic location, or to provide on-the-ground assistance where needed, is limited by cost and the simple availability of time. The $10M ANA Avatar XPRIZE is a new four-year global competition focused on accelerating the integration of multiple emerging technologies into an avatar system that will enable us to remotely see, hear, touch and interact with physical environments and other people through an integrated robotic device. This prize can enable us to more rapidly and efficiently distribute skill and hands-on expertise to distant geographic locations where they are needed, bridging the gap between distance, time and cultures.
