Hosted by: MIT Media Lab

The Reality, Virtually, Hackathon is returning to the MIT Media Lab with the same goals as last year: exposing attendees to new ideas, facilitating networking opportunities, and most importantly, exploring new and yet-to-be discovered applications while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Up to 400 attendees are targeted to attend the event. Some will be creating their first virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) apps. More experienced attendees will be building new applications and hopefully, they will be creating new ingenious VR and AR use cases that no one has yet implemented. The Reality, Virtually Hackathon is sponsored by the MIT Media Lab.

A day of skill-building workshops on AR and VR design, development, and platforms will be held on October 6, 2017. Workshops will feature speakers covering hardware, development methodologies, and immersive design concepts. On the last day, a public expo will showcase the projects submitted by hackathon participants, culminating in an award ceremony for the top submission selected by the judging panel. AR/VR designers, developers, sound engineers, graphic artists, domain experts, and enthusiasts are invited to apply for the hackathon!
