THE ANA Avatar XPRIZE
https://www.xprize.org/prizes/avatar
The $10M ANA Avatar XPRIZE aimed to create an avatar system that can transport human presence to a remote location in real-time.

““THE ANA AVATAR XPRIZE CAN ENABLE THE CREATION OF AN AUDACIOUS ALTERNATIVE THAT COULD BYPASS PHYSICAL HUMAN LIMITATIONS, ALLOWING US TO MORE RAPIDLY AND EFFICIENTLY DISTRIBUTE SKILLS AND HANDS-ON EXPERTISE TO DISTANT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED, BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN DISTANCE, TIME AND CULTURES.””
PETER H. DIAMANDIS

BEYOND BLUE: THE REAL AVATARS OF THE FUTURE

Many of us, especially Avatar film fans, long for the day when existing as an Avatar as depicted in the film is finally possible. Yes, please! But how close are we really? How easily can we transport our human consciousness into an Avatar vessel — of any kind?
