Reality Hack at MIT 2026 - January 22-26, 2026

Reality Hack is a community-run experiential technology hackathon held at MIT co-hosted by a team of community volunteers (alumni, friends, and others) with the Reality Hack Organization and a student org VR/AR@MIT.  We all share a common goal: to educate, empower and enable people to be part of the experiential technology industries.
