DesignXR Hackathon – Build the Future in XRDesignXR Hackathon is an immersive innovation challenge focused on redefining how we design, visualize, and interact with the world using AI + XR technologies (AR, VR, MR).
This hackathon invites students, developers, designers, and creators to build next-generation extended reality experiences across industries like education, architecture, healthcare, real estate, training, gaming, and collaboration.
✨ What Makes DesignXR Special🌐 Focus on real-world AI, XR use cases — not just concepts or demos
🧠 Design-first approach combined with cutting-edge technology
🤝 Open for both solo participants and teams
🚀 Strong emphasis on usability, immersion, and real impact
You can create:
- XR-based solutions using AI, AR / VR / MR / WebXR
- Interactive and immersive experiences focused on:
- Learning & education
- Simulations & training
- Virtual environments
- AI-powered immersive assistants
To ensure quality and consistency across submissions:
- You should create 3D models using tools like:
- Blender
- Maya
- or any other 3D software
-
Then integrate these models into an XR experience OR:
👉 Create a demonstration video showing the XR interaction
- For education-based projects:
- Add voiceover explanations
- OR design interactive activities
- Ensure learners/students can clearly understand the concept through your experience
- For other use cases (real estate, healthcare, product, etc.):
- Build high-quality 3D models
- Showcase them in an XR environment
- Provide a video demonstrating interaction, navigation, or usage
