Judging Criteria

• Concept & Innovation  The project goes beyond an idea - it solves a real problem, creates value, or introduces a new experience that wasn't possible before. We're looking for projects that could attract, engage, and retain real users.
• Technical Implementation Show what you actually built, not just what you imagined. The project should run reliably on the intended platform, feel polished, and demonstrate meaningful use of the provided tools. Presentation matters, including demo video, description, and slides.
• Experience & Design The overall user experience should be intuitive, immersive, and visually engaging, with all elements working together cohesively. Interaction, flow, and polish matter, and the demo should clearly communicate how the experience works and why it feels seamless and engaging.

• Track & Category Criteria
  • 🎬 Best Storytelling & Entertainment Project Focus on immersion, engagement, and thoughtful design. Projects should create a compelling VFX, virtual production, or narrative experience brought to life with world models.
  • 🌐 Best Interactive World Experience - powered by World Labs Emphasize interactivity and real-time responsiveness. Projects should give users a meaningful, reactive splat-based experience.
  • 🧬 Best 3D GenAI Character, Brand or Product Integration - powered by TRIPO Focus on fully embodied characters, brands, or products - not just surface branding. The object or character should connect meaningfully with the rest of the scene or experience.
  • 🗺️ Best Spatial Reconstruction Project - powered by XGRIDS Demonstrate accurate reconstruction from real-world capture. Projects should turn captured scenes into detailed, interactive 3D environments.
  • 💻 Best App Running on Emulator - powered by PICO Show creative use of the PICO Emulator's capabilities. Projects should be built, tested, and demonstrated running live within the emulator environment.
  • 🤖 Best Agentic Spatial System (WebSpatial / Spatial SDK) - powered by PICO Create a clear, agent-driven spatial system. Projects should make AI orchestration intuitive and visually understandable, turning PICO into a spatial hub.
  • 🔀 Best Branched Narrative or Edutainment Project - powered by Reactor Deliver a real-time, branching experience for storytelling or educational use cases. Projects should give users meaningful agency over how the experience unfolds.
  • 🎯 One Shot Challenge: Deliver a self-contained project built from a single prompt and a single model call. The more complex, rich, and deep the result, the better.

  • Best Spatial Reconstruction Project - powered by XGRIDS: Must use real-world capture and reconstruction to build the environment, with at least one interactive, responsive element.
  • Best App Running on Emulator - powered by PICO: Must run on the PICO Emulator, demonstrating at least one productivity, creative, or spatial workflow feature.
  • Best Agentic Spatial System - powered by PICO: Must implement at least one AI agent with a spatial multi-view interface and use WebSpatial or PICO Spatial SDK.
  • Best Branched Narrative or Edutainment Project - powered by Reactor: Must use Reactor and at least one real-time branching path driven by user choice or interaction.
  • One Shot Challenge: Must be produced from a single prompt and a single model call, delivered as a self-contained build.
