The

In this new age of technology, our goal is to promote the theme of XR for Good: motivating students to create Extended Reality applications that benefit our communities and are created with social responsibility in mind.

The
Event

Join us at USC’s campus on April 18th for RealityShift, USC’s first Extended Reality (XR) Hackathon. This event will be a full-day, 12-hour development sprint in which you and a team of up to 4 students will create an XR application that tackles a social problem.

What is
