    Nothing here too.
    This Hololens in my picture is from a friend of my.
    I am waiting the results like there's no tomorrow.
    The only thing we can do is waiting :(

    The finalists should be announced shortly. I know there was some delay, which pushed the announcement a bit, but my guess is that it will be ready soon.

    They can call Superman if they want, and verify the identity of Mr. Enigma before publishing the selected projects, and take all the time they want to do so. However, it is rude that they have not sent at least one email. We can suppose they are stealing the projects (why not) and give the potential ideas to partners in order to deploy it (Why not! Think badly, and you will be right!). It's a shame from Unity and Microsoft.
    It's not for the prizes, but courtesy for our effort! Still "waiting" for an email.
    Definitely very disappointed with Unity and Microsoft.

    Yes, all finalists have received an email now, we're just waiting for the finalists to respond and then we'll announce them in this forum and via social media. We apologize for the delays. And to clarify, all finalists who develop their HoloLens experience will retain their IP. They'll go on to publish it in the Windows Store.
    We certainly won't be developing any of the ideas submitted in this contest, so even if you are not a finalist, we would love to see you all build these ideas. As we mentioned, judging was incredibly difficult this time around with >1,000 ideas, and so many of them were awesome that it was very hard to select just 10 finalists, hence the delay.
