The D.I.C.E. Award for Immersive Reality Technical Achievement is an award presented annually by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the D.I.C.E. Awards. This award "celebrates the highest level of technical achievement within an immersive reality experience through the combined attention to gameplay engineering and visual engineering. Elements honored include but are not limited to technology features specifically associated with the immersive medium, artificial intelligence, physics, engine mechanics, and visual engineering".

The award's most recent winner is Horizon Call of the Mountain, developed by Guerrilla Games and Firesprite, and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Immersive Reality Technical Achievement and Game of the Year

[edit]

Both immersive reality awards were introduced for the 20th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. According to the rules and procedures for the 20th awards ceremony, "the immersive reality category panel will be comprised of individuals working directly in the medium". The finalists and winners for these categories would be "selected by a panel of experts and will not be voted on by the general membership body of the Academy".[1] Since the categories were introduced, both categories had a majority of finalists and winners in common. Lone Echo, Half-Life: Alyx, Lone Echo II, and Red Matter 2 won both immersive reality categories. Tónandi was the only winner for Immersive Reality Technical Achievement that was not a finalist for Immersive Reality Game of the Year.
