Ended up taking home 1st place prize for Best Project Upgrade at @SensAIHackademy@frontiertower SF hackathon with my team this past weekend.
Had a lot of fun hacking and embracing the Samurai theme of the hack, got to do some sword performances and even some sword training where I took on the role of Sensai.
๐ฃ Excited to announce my AWE 2026 talk on Agentic Workflows for VR/MR!

Honestly, after spending a lot of time with AI tooling over the past few months, I am extremely excited to share my takeaways:
Whatโs working?
Whatโs not working?
And how am I finding real success when developing VR games in Unity?
๐ก Also, if you have specific questions, let me know. I will make sure to cover any areas that could help with your own development cycles.
@jmdagdelen@nikitabier Kind of funny cuz the way this tweet started "I am so sick of..." made me think it was an AI Generated tweet (as I just posted a similar sounding one on LI the other day)
@jmdagdelen Dang... we were thinking like 300 units in the early days, and that was if, you had some big media sponsors cover it... did any of the big influencers you reached out to ever cover it? I dont recall seeing anything.
@Sebbywebz Just watched your videos last night and... didn't realize you are the main arbiter of fate! Lol ... so Remake/Rebirth games are all about destroying @Sebbywebz lol
Who knew that the main Villain was actually just an aussie that likes to drink and laugh a lot... wait a second...
@NimaZeighami If any topics come up about Samurai and XR tech, let me know, got some free time these days to refocus and may start focusing on releasing some actual demo's... maybe for AWE.
A bit scared to actually do some video content... ๐
When I was in SF a couple of weeks ago, I visited a few startups vlog-style. Hope you like it:
First stop: @VisitDreamPark, founded by @brentbushnell, Aidan Wolf, and Kevin Habich.
The idea and concept is simple: the world's first mixed reality theme park.
No venue, no headset, no single attraction ticket. Instead, public spaces, like streets, parks, malls and so one, become playgrounds layered with augmented reality.
I am an 80s kid, so this playing SuperMario in real life.
Their flagship experience is called Super Adventure Land. You collect coins, dodge obstacles, interact with virtual objects... all through your phone, in the middle of the real world.
The model scales without expensive infrastructure. No real estate, no construction. Just software dropped onto existing spaces.
They've been on Shark Tank, and are currently expanding to Seattle, Santa Monica, and Long Island.
More of these visits are coming.
Thanks for having me, Kevin Habich! ๐
