The Tracks

These tracks represent the core themes of the XR Design Challenge and were guiding the direction of projects.
TRACK #1

Spatial UI: The World is Your Canvas

Most AR/VR interfaces still mimic 2D screen-based designs—but why stop there? In XR, our bodies, environments, and objects can all become interactive elements. Let’s break free from flat screens and design experiences where the world itself is the interface.

Mobile App to XR App

Meta is opening doors for mobile apps to enter the XR ecosystem. But this isn’t about copying and pasting apps into headsets, it’s about reimagining them for XR. Think beyond replication and create an app that truly uses the power of immersive technology.
