Auggie Awards
[edit]To honor excellence in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies, Augmented World Expo (AWE)[4] presents the Auggie Awards every year.[5] One of the prestigious awards in the XR (extended reality) sector, the Auggie Awards were founded in 2010.
The awards honor exceptional accomplishments in a variety of fields, such as applications, software, hardware, and content. As Forbse's Charlie Fink stated, "AWE's prestigious Auggie Awards, a juried competition that recognizes XR industry excellence".[6]
Every year during AWE USA, the Auggie Awards Ceremony is held to announce and honor the winners; the 2025 event took place on June 12.[7] 20 winners were announced in the following categories[8][9] in hardware, software, AI, climate change, enterprise solutions, societal impact and more.[10]
These categories showcase a wide range – from creative storytelling and software platforms to cutting-edge hardware and societal impact. Among the 2025's winners are Snap and Niantic.
