Hey everyone, it’s Cosmo. This past weekend, 185 developers from 21 countries joined the first global visionOS hackathon, Vision Hack.

With 61 projects submitted, it was a historic moment for the visionOS and XR community. What began as a conversation inside of Vision Pro itself grew into the largest visionOS developer event outside of Apple!

It was incredible to see the quality, quantity, and variety of projects everyone built in such a short period of time. Thank you to our sponsors, speakers, local hosts, mentors, judges, and of course, my fellow organizers Brian Boyd Jr. and Matt Hoerl. We’re looking forward to what comes next…

Positioned as the most portable and affordable device in Looking Glass’ lineup of spatial displays, it is the most user friendly and accessible glasses-free 3D display yet.
