About the Hackathon

Embark on an exciting journey of innovation, problem-solving, and technological exploration by developing a unique XR solution at home!

Teams will create an XR solution based on one of three challenge tracks that will be released.

During this time, you may develop your solutions in your respective teams at your own pace and venue. You may also choose to attend physical consultation sessions for technical assistance or to test your solutions on the XR devices provided on-site.

A final test of your solution can be done during the Hackathon Finals before submission.
