Reality Hack is back at AWE USA 2026🚀

We are teaming up with @realityhackatmit and @spectacles to invite you to build the future of learning.

Our 2026 theme, "I, Spatial: Humans Empowered by Spatial AI," is a call to action to restore human agency in an AI world. This hackathon is the perfect stage to prove what that looks like in practice.

Using Spectacles, you’ll create experiences that blend intelligent assistance with the physical world to improve how we learn.

The Roadmap:👇
➡️ May 28: Kick off virtually and start building with your global team 💻
➡️ June 15: Join us in person at the Long Beach Convention Center for the final hack day 📍
➡️ June 16: Demo your work on the AWE Expo floor. Prizes for top 3 teams presented on the AWE Main Stage 🏆

Why join?
Accepted hackers get a $99 AWE Conference Ticket and access to loaner Spectacles to bring your ideas to life.

Let’s show the world what happens when humans stay at the center of technology.

Apply to hack by May 8. 🔗Link in bio.

Excited to share that Reality Hack is pitching at the IBC Accelerator 2026 Kickstart Day at the BBC in London as part of the IBC Accelerator Media Innovation Programme. We’re proud to be pitching:

🎭 Immersive Festival Live: Remote Presence at Scale

This project explores how immersive technologies can expand access to live festivals and performances - enabling remote presence at scale and opening up new ways for audiences to participate in shared cultural experiences.

🚀 If our pitch is successful, we’ll go through to the final eight projects selected to be part of the 2026 Accelerator programme.

📣 The pitch will be presented in person (IRL) by Dr Luke Porwol for Reality Hack and Rich Welsh for SMPTE. We’re thrilled to be presenting this alongside our sponsors and partners, including Shure, DeoVR, King’s College London, and University of Galway.

📍 BBC, London

Thank you to everyone involved in shaping this vision — and to IBC Accelerator for the opportunity to help define the future of immersive media.

Snowstorm outside. Standing room only inside. ❄️🔥

At Reality Hack at MIT 2026, we showed up as mentors and sponsors and left inspired by the resilience, creativity, and generosity of this community.

In our latest blog, staffers Raul Carvajal and Vanessa Lawand Pfeiffer share what it was like mentoring teams, supporting Agog’s XR for Collective Futures prize track, and watching powerful ideas take shape under pressure (and snow).

From first-time hackers to projects imagining climate-forward futures, this year’s Reality Hack reminded us why community matters so much in XR.
