Spatial Intelligence + Generative 3D Hackathon - Event Plan
World Labs Tripo mint.gg Convex.dev One-day hackathon San Francisco
Overview
We're teaming up with World Labs, Tripo, mint.gg, & Convex.dev for a one-day hackathon in San Francisco at the intersection of spatial intelligence & generative 3D.
Participants will get hands-on access to some of the best tools for generating 3D content & turning it into functional, interactive experiences:
World Labs - large world models for generating immersive worlds
Tripo - rapid 3D asset generation for creating game-ready objects
mint.gg - agentic creation platform & developer tools for bringing worlds & assets together as interactive, playable experiences
Convex.dev - real-time backend infrastructure for powering application data, state, multiplayer systems, & agentic experiences
Together, we'll explore what becomes possible when entire worlds, detailed 3D objects, & real-time scenes can be generated from little more than a prompt or an image - & then quickly assembled, programmed, connected, & shared.
Tracks
Gaming & Interactive Worlds - Playable worlds, games, multiplayer experiences, interactive applications, & real-time 3D scenes
Physical AI & Simulation - Robotics, simulation, embodied agents, spatial reasoning, training environments, & digital twins
Creative 3D & VFX - Visual effects, virtual production, cinematic experiences, creative tools, real-time graphics, & experimental projects that do not fit neatly into the other tracks
Prizes
The top two teams in each of the three tracks will each receive:
$1k in World Labs credits
$1k in Tripo credits
$1k in mint.gg credits
That's $3k in total credits per winning team.
With two winning teams across each of the three tracks, there will be six prize-winning teams.
Convex.dev will also give away Three Convex memberships. One to the top team in each tract.
