Challenge Categories

• Mixed and Virtual Reality  The experience should be only possible in Virtual or Mixed Reality, leveraging Meta XR SDKs on Quest. It should demonstrate compelling, differentiated experiences that go beyond standard XR apps.
• Best Use of AI with PCA  The experience should meaningfully demonstrate the advantages of integrating Context-Aware AI with Passthrough Camera Access on Meta Quest, enabling applications that adapt to the user’s environment and go beyond generative AI.
• Best Implementation of Hand Tracking  The experience should leverage hand tracking in innovative ways, using microgestures, hand poses, and fluid motions to create natural, intuitive, and immersive interactions in XR.
• Best Immersive Entertainment Experience  The experience should engage users in viewing or spectating environment, combining presence, visuals, sound, and interaction to enhance the experience.
• Best Upgrade to an Existing Project The experience should build upon an existing project and demonstrate significant new features or improvements. Submissions must show clear innovation and enhancements that meaningfully extend the project.

Project Requirements

• Functionality: The Project must be capable of being successfully installed and running consistently on the platform for which it is intended and must function as depicted in the video and/or expressed in the text description.
• New & Existing:
  • All categories except “Best Upgrade to an Existing Project” must be newly created and not previously submitted to any other hackathon or published on Meta Horizon Store. Teams may prepare mockups before the hackathon but no coding or implementation is allowed prior to the event. 
  • For “Best Upgrade to an Existing Project”, participants may bring an existing project, but must incorporate a significant update or new core feature(s) (e.g. single-player to multiplayer).
• Third-Party Integrations: If a Project integrates any third-party SDK, APIs, and/or data, the Entrant must be authorized to use them in accordance with any terms and conditions or licensing requirements of the tool. Sponsor and Administrator reserve the right to request proof of such authorization or licensure.
• What to create:
  • Mixed and Virtual Reality: Must use Meta XR SDK with at least one core VR/MR capability.
  • AI with Camera Access: Must use PCA with at least one context-aware AI capability. Pre-trained AI models may be used if publicly accessible.
  • For Best Implementation of Hand Tracking: Must use hand tracking to create intuitive and immersive interactions, leveraging microgestures and hand poses to enhance the user experience in XR.
  • For Best Immersive Entertainment Experience: Must deliver a highly engaging experience that combines presence, visuals, sound, and interaction to captivate users in XR.
  • For Best Upgrade to an Existing Project: Must build upon an existing project by adding core feature(s) or significant update that meaningfully extends and improves the original experience.
