Requirements: ePUB reader, 12.6mb
Overview: The fictional Avatars Inc. was inspired by the real-life $10 million ANA Avatar XPRIZE, a four-year global competition focused on the development of an avatar system that could transport a human’s senses, actions, and presence to a remote location in real time. The competition was launched in March 2018 at a technology conference in Austin, Texas.
A total of 77 teams from 19 countries qualified to compete. In March 2022, after a rigorous selection process, 20 teams competed in the finals, which included performance tests based on specific tasks that showcase the application of avatar technologies across several use-case scenarios. The first-place winner received $5 million.
