The awards – one for streaming-media contributions and one for Microsoft Direct 3D versions 9 and 10 – were handed out Jan. 8 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
“It is a testament to the breadth of technology of Microsoft that in one evening, they receive a classic technical Emmy for their contributions to streaming architecture and an award for their contribution to game technology for the DirectX environment,” said Seth Haberman, who chairs the academy’s video games and technology panel. “It would be hard to imagine two technologies more impactful to today’s consumers.”
