KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- HTC’s web-based game platform VIVERSE is holding its global university hackathon, VIVERSE Spark, for a second year, inviting university students worldwide to build games and interactive experiences for cash prizes.
The competition runs from Nov 9 to Dec 4, with judging from Dec 7 to 18 and winners to be announced in early January 2027, according to a statement.
VIVERSE Head of Growth, Andranik Aslanyan said the competition gives students the freedom to experiment, collaborate and create experiences that anyone in the world can enjoy in a web browser.
“We saw a lot of creativity in our first university hackathon last year. We look forward to welcoming a new wave of student creators and giving them the opportunity to develop valuable career skills, build a portfolio, and win prizes,” he said.
Students can enter in teams of one to five members from the same university, in three categories: games, immersive storytelling and social experiences. Entries will be judged on creativity, scene design, technical skill, user experience and user engagement.
Content created on VIVERSE can be played in web browsers on computers, smartphones, tablets and extended reality headsets without installing software, and the platform is designed for students of all experience levels.
