#HackThePlanet VR 2016 Honoree Webby Award

Before we meet, I poke around and see that #HackThePlanet has just been announced as the recipient of a Webby award by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. As previous winners include David Bowie this is a big deal. Put together by James, Simon Boswell and internet personality Ashens, after they met working together on “Ashens and the Quest for the GameChild” two years ago, #HackThePlanet first premiered at Digital Shoreditch last year, with a live performance from Boswell to a crowd wearing the cardboard specs. Then, this October, the VR experience was used to set a record for “Shared VR Viewer Experience Live” at MCM Comic Con, with the track played live by Revenge of Calculon.
