VR R&D Showcasing Programme Funding Call

StoryFutures is excited to announce a new opportunity for creative businesses producing story-driven content in virtual reality with an educational or learning aspect. Our ambition is to showcase your content to new and diverse audiences across the UK.

This is an exciting opportunity to repurpose your existing content in order to showcase it on Meta Quest 2 headsets to new venues and audiences, and to be a leader in distribution innovation, via a showcasing network supported and trained by StoryFutures in exhibiting immersive content.

About the programme

The VR R&D Showcasing Programme will run from 19 January to 31 March 2023, and offers:

• Up to 5 R&D awards of £7,000 each to refine existing content for delivery as a 7-10 minute VR experience
• The opportunity to showcase your content on over 250 VR headsets, via a network of libraries and cultural venues across the UK as part of partnerships currently in development at StoryFutures
