What is IVRC?
— International collegiate Virtual Reality Contest
establish in 1993 by Prof. Susumu Tachi
— Contestof interaction
and virtual reality,which
fuses artand technology
— Honors the greatest Virtual Reality and Interactive
works of students
— New education system through contest

What is IVRC?
— Organized by Virtual Reality Society of Japan
— Supported by Ministry of Economy, Tradeand Industry and
Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology
— Ambassadede France au japon, Service pour la Science et la
Technologie
— Held at Miraikan, National science museum of Emerging

IVRC: contestof the students, by the students, for the students
l IVRC istheacronym of “International collegiateVirtual RealityContest”,which hasbeen held since
1993 and isthecontest of Interactiveproducts using advanced technologiessuch as virtual realityand
robots. Our English namechangedfor internationalization in 2004,because webegan to invite
awarded teams from theFrench VR contest “Laval Virtual”.
l When you hear thewords such as “Virtual Reality” and “robot”,you should feel that special expensive
machinesare necessary to realize them. However, thereare many ideas which can beactualized only
with handmade machines. The main purpose of thiscontest isfor participantsto gain deeper
understanding of and familiaritywith interactivetechnologiesthrough activitiessuch as planning
interactivesystems, making devices themselves, and improving quality of their contents.
l IVRC has not onlythefunction of contest but also thefunction of education. It aims to construct the
new education system of the21st century to develop excellent human resources, who can think,learn,
and work by themselves.

23 years…
— More than 200 projects have been realized through 23
IVRCs including 21 projects selected as SIGGRAPH E-
Tech.
— Average 5 persons for each project mean over 1,000
persons have deeply experienced and understood VR!
— IVRC students become staffs, and staffs now become
world famous professors, designers, creators, and
engineers.

21 CENTURY'S GRAND
ENGINEERING CHALLENGES
— National Academy of Engineering announced 14 grand
engineering challenges for the 21stcentury on February 15,
2008. http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/
— The final choices fall into four themes that are essential for
humanity to flourish -- sustainability, health, reducing
vulnerability, and joy of living.
— Tremendous advances in quality of life have come from
improved technology in areas such as farming and
manufacturing. If we focus our effort on the important grand
challenges of our age, we can hugely improve the future.
— EnhanceVirtual Reality is chosen one of the 14 challenges.
