Applications open for the Open Call for XReality 2019 NCM.

X REALITY’ implies a lot.
‘X Reality’, a new term that penetrates through all kinds of virtualization that not only includes VR(Virtual Reality), AR(Augmented Reality), and MR(Mixed Reality) but also encompasses XR(extended Reality, that broadens the perspectives of reality), CR(Cross Reality, that overlaps real and virtual world) and even unknown X, the undetermined and unpredictable. NCM Open Call would like to embrace various kinds of innovative and challenging interpretations of virtualization.

NCM Open Call X Reality is an open festival.
As NCM Open Call has been for the past three years, any contents that give an artistic and innovative interpretation on XR is qualified to be submitted regardless of the applicant’s s nationality, age, gender, or field experiences. There is no limitation on platform, genre, and theme.
