ABOUT THE CHALLENGE
Welcome to the XR Creator Con Hackathon: a challenge for XR Creators to practice their mixed reality development skills using Presence Platform, and innovate on new categories of Meta Quest applications.
In this hackathon, you will leverage Presence Platform capabilities to build creative prototypes of innovative content. With the Mixed Reality features on Meta Quest 3, we are seeing entirely new categories of applications emerge driven by developer innovation.
To amplify this experimentation, the focus of this hackathon will be on select categories, including Social or Casual Gaming, Hobbies, Interests & Skill-Building, and Utility & Design Experiences.
