Rewards Developer HTC Sends First Round of VR for Impact Awards

HTC announced the winners of the first round of VR for Impact project, which set aside $10 million in prize money for VR developers who support the UN's sustainable development goals. The first application that accepted the bonus was SpaceVR, which allows users to experience space from a satellite perspective. The second award-winning application is Tree, an interactive tactile experience that highlights the reality of deforestation. The third application is Extraordinary Honey Bee.

SpaceVR's developers will launch SpaceX’s first VR satellite experience into space later this year. After entering space orbit, satellites can transmit panoramic VR or 360-degree video streams. In this way, "SpaceVR" can provide a seemingly impossible first-person view of the space experience in the user's real environment.

"Tree" is a tactilely enhanced VR experience that explores the fate of life and tropical rain forests and shows viewers the wide range of forests that have been felled and their impact on the environment. The experience is also an official recommendation of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival.

The same "Extraordinary Honey Bee" introduced to the people that the current bees are decreasing at an alarming rate. This instructive VR experience has aroused people's attention to the habitat of bees and the current protection schemes.

These award-winning projects can be accessed at the Viveport store after completion. "SpaceVR", "Tree" and "Extraordinary Honey Bee" are the only first batch of three prize-winning works. These works have been selected for many years of project plans and receive a number of subsidies each year. HTC will also announce the 2017 subsidy program at the end of the year.

Miniature Slip Ring

What is a miniature slip ring? Miniature slip rings are rotary electrical connectors that allow power and data to be transferred between a stationary and rotating structure. They are often used in medical, military, and aerospace applications where size and weight are critical factors.


A miniature slip ring typically consists of two parts: a stationary housing and a rotating contact assembly. The contact assembly contains the brushes that make electrical contact with the rotating structure, as well as the rings that conduct current or data.


The housing can be made from any number of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. It is typically designed to be as small and lightweight as possible while still providing adequate strength and durability.


The contact assembly is made from precious metals such as gold or silver in order to provide good electrical conductivity.

Technology improves with the continuous development of precision machinery. The more sophisticated the equipment, the smaller the volume will be. And the space that can be accommodated for installing the slip ring is also very small. The key parts of some equipment are quite a district. Especially in the high-end military, aerospace and aviation fields. 360-degree rotation is required to transmit current and signals. And the installation space is greatly reduced. It is to make the equipment work more smoothly. Therefore, it is necessary to design the slip ring to be small and exquisite. Otherwise, it won't meet the needs of the installation.

At the same time, we have moved with the continuous development of science and technology. Various high-end precision instruments have been developed. It requires the slip ring to transmit the current amount of general power. Also often undertake the transmission of weak electrical signals and various weak signals. The transmission medium is wider, and the number of loops of the slip ring is increasing.
