Use MR to redesign everyday workflows instead of building another floating UI. This track is for tools that help people do something in their real space better than they could on a laptop.
This category had significantly more submissions, which is why the number of finalists is 12.
Horizon Worlds is a live, social platform where worlds evolve through the people inside them. Build spaces that give people a reason to return: clear loops, lightweight collaboration, or shared rituals that can exist only in a persistent world.
This track is about tools and utilities that read the scene and react intelligently, instead of just overlaying graphics. Design apps that understand what the user is looking at and help them take the next useful step.
Tourism is changing. People want to feel connected to a place before they visit, discover hidden gems locals know about, and experience culture in deeper ways. XR makes that possible.
This track treats XR as a full cinematic medium. Design how viewers enter the space, where their attention goes, and how sound and environment move the story forward. Aim for pieces that feel like complete, intentional films or experiences.
