There are many research breakthroughs and academic papers that never get integrated into real-world use cases. That’s why we started our collab with #SIGGRAPH2026: To close the research to implementation gap.

Every year, the best minds in graphics, VFX, AI, and spatial computing prove what's possible- on paper. This year, at the #WorldsinAction Hack, July 18–19 in LA, right before SIGGRAPH, we’re turning this research into something tangible in only 48 hours: A working prototype.

As Hacker, this is what you will get:
⚡ Hundreds of GenAI/World Models ready to use
⚡ Unlimited Cloud Compute
⚡ Free credits ready on day one
⚡ Mentors who help you 1:1
⚡ Sponsors looking for projects to invest in

The best prototypes even get the chance to exhibit at SIGGRAPH itself.

If you’re presenting a paper at #SIGGRAPH2026 this year, join #WorldsinAction Hack to apply it to reality.

Hey C#, Unity and XR devs - excited about @Android XR and the @Meta @ray_ban Display glass announcements last week, but not sure where to start?

What if you could skip the learning curve entirely?

At @SensAIHackademy, we're building a free course to bridge this gap and get you up to speed... Overnight...

If there's enough interest, we'll drop this in a month!
Tag your friends who might be interested in this course so we spread the 💙 to the community!

🌐 #WorldsinAction Hack is coming to #SIGGRAPHLA July 18-19, and I’m joining the @SensAIHackademy team as Head of Growth & Partnerships!

🧚‍♀️ As a member of the 2026 @siggraph #SpatialStorytelling Committee, this additional role is very exciting to me. Hope to see you there!

[XR Bootcamp @XR_Bootcamp]

The future of XR is not only about graphics, AI, or hardware specs.

It is also about trust.

As XR devices become part of people’s homes and everyday environments, privacy and responsible data handling need to be built into the foundation of spatial computing.

That’s why, together with @DavidGeneOh1 from PICOXR, we’re excited to support 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗠𝗥, nominated for an @ARealityEvent Auggie Award for “𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗫𝗥 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿.”

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗠𝗥 helps developers create powerful mixed reality experiences without directly accessing raw camera or sensor data from a user’s private space.

As Avi Bar-Zeev recently highlighted, privacy and trust cannot be treated as an afterthought. We believe this work represents an important step toward a safer and more trusted XR ecosystem.

Open source is the way forward! @TencentGlobal, the gaming giant behind stakes in studios like @riotgames, @EpicGames, @supercell, @Ubisoft, @Miniclip, just announced that they open-sourced their 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘆𝗮𝗻 (𝗛𝗬) 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹!

That’s a big deal.

Tencent likely sits on one of the richest datasets of interactive 3D worlds and game mechanics anywhere - across genres, player behaviors, and live systems.

So this isn’t just another model release.

It signals where things are heading:
The value in game development is no longer just production efficiency.
It’s also about who owns, trains, and operationalizes the data behind these worlds - and how that feeds into AI-driven pipelines.

What their open-source world-model unlocks:
- Unlimited playable duration
- Real-time rendering on consumer GPUs
- Accurate lighting, real physics, collision-aware interactions
- One-time generation → near-zero rendering cost
- Export-ready for @Blender, @unity, @UnrealEngine, #IsaacSim

We love seeing more platforms open-source for the community - it’s a core part of what we do at @SensAIHackademy with our AI, XR and world models end-to-end workflows and open-source kits.

How about a hands-on workshop on running (open-source) models on GPU cloud platforms? We can think of something if there is enough interest. Let us know in the comments 👇

Most people think Spatial Computing is just about "big screens." They're missing the point. @Google @Android XR’s new auto-spatialization just turned the Play Store into an immersive app library!

We also saw @SadlyItsBradley's envision thinking games as 6DoF "portals". He’s right - but this isn’t just for gamers. Stereoscopic viewing and Parallax might be the new standard for Spatial Entertainment or Apps like:
Maps: 3D landscapes you can physically lean into.
Showreels: Portfolios that pop off the screen.
Photos: Memories with actual volume.

We’ve been obsessing over this at #WorldsinAction. Our open-source Parallax Kit (built with the support of @XRarchitect from @theworldlabs and @JohannesTscharn from @SensAIHackademy) can bring depth to 3D showcases.

Feel free to check out this kit if you would like to build your own portals: https://t.co/1j4WWPiWgU

[XR Bootcamp @XR_Bootcamp]

At our #WorldsinAction Hack, 94% of teams built with Marble using our open-source kits. Just look at what our friends at @theworldlabs just announced less than 5 months after Marble launch - incredible progress! I can only imagine what we’ll be witnessing a year from now.
Marble 1.1: improved lighting, better contrast & reduction in visual artifacts
Marble 1.1-Plus: a new model built for scale. Larger and more complex environments than anything before.

The models are scaling fast, the output is getting bigger and more realistic. You can start building on Marble today and bring your splats to @unity @UnrealEngine #WebXR with our open-source kits and free tutorials: https://t.co/6wfUyYGhFF

I am curious what the brightest hacker minds will come up with these new enhanced capabilities at the next hack. We have big news coming up soon! https://t.co/5PNWPUptW8

[Gabriele Romagnoli @GabRoXR]

This web demo lets you create a portal to your own AI-generated world 👇

The Off-Axis spatial Kit built by @JohannesTscharn and @XRarchitect now supports the import function for your own splat.

To get it, make sure to reach out to Ferhan Özkan and the @SensAIHackademy team, who have been building end-to-end workflow Kits for Unity, Unreal Engine and #WebXR.

[Johannes Tscharn @JohannesTscharn]

Took the off-axis repo by @XRarchitect for a spin and made a showcase of gaussian splats created during the @SensAIHackademy hack at @fdotinc

Surprisingly easy to setup with @theworldlabs and @sparkjsdev

[XR Bootcamp @XR_Bootcamp]

The future of world models might’ve just shown up at #WorldsinAction Hack last weekend. 🌍
Using @theworldlabs Marble API and our @SensAIHackademy Unity kit, the Best World Implementation with Pico Category Winner Team SyncSpace (Weibo Xu & Qinchuan Zhang ) turns real rooms into fully aligned, playable game scenes. This is real-to-virtual spatial alignment: walls, objects, and ceilings instantly transform to match the @fdotinc Hack Area. And with LLM voice interaction and real-time @MeshyAI object generation, they create fully dynamic gameplay.

My take: With XR companies like @PICOXR and @Meta pushing Hyperscape and Scene Understanding features and World Labs raising $1B (especially the $200M from @autodesk), the future of customizable reality is coming fast.

What it enables:
Real-Virtual Alignment: Your physical space becomes the foundation of your virtual world.
Dynamic Environments: Switch themes daily, from fantasy dungeons to futuristic labs.
Generated Spaces: Create entire rooms from inputs like AutoCAD files.
Room-Scale Interaction: Everything lines up, so movement feels natural and immersive.
Scalable MR Experiences: Personalized worlds built on top of your own space.
