Jury Criteria
- Compelling Concept
The experience is different from what's currently on Quest (Store or App Lab) or previous hackathons and best exemplifies a successful standalone app. We're looking for concepts that have the potential to attract, engage, and retain a meaningful number of users on Quest.
- Presence Platform + AI Capabilities (e.g., MR and SDKs)
The experience is only possible in MR, or with the selected Meta Presence Platform SDKs on Quest 3. Utilizing available AI capabilities is a plus but not a must. The experience illustrates how these capabilities can create compelling, differentiated experiences.
- Quality / Implementation
The experience is well executed, with a quality user experience once the experience launches. The experience has polish and is performant on Quest. The overall presentation of the project including the text description, slides, images, and video quality as stated in the submission requirements.
Project Requirements
- What to Create: Build a mixed reality experience using Meta Presence Platform's capabilities, including at least one Mixed Reality (MR) Capability AND at least one Presence Platform SDK
- 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: Projects must be newly created by the Entrant or, (e.g., not previously uploaded onto AppLab or Quest Store). Additionally, the Project cannot have been worked on in a previous Hackathon.
- Third-Party Integrations: If a Project integrates any third-party SDK, APIs and/or data, 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. The third party element should be publicly available.
