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.
