Nothing beats a moving proposal. AR × Hackathon for solving challenges
In early February 2022, withAR and Pretia Technologies (hereafter Pretia) hosted the "Local withAR Hackathon," an event challenging collaborations between AR and diverse industries. This event facilitated collaborations across fields like architects, local government officials, and creative company CEOs, with Dentsu Inc. employees also participating as planners. Focusing on the theme of "tourism," a total of 17 AR solution prototypes were completed in just one week. This series will explore the potential of AR × hackathons, featuring introductions to the projects born from the hackathon. The first guests are Mr. Yu Ushio, CEO of Pretia Technologies Inc., and Mr. Daiki Oshida of the withAR Hackathon Executive Committee. Dentsu Inc.'s Yuto Shiota asked them about the background behind organizing the AR hackathon and new discoveries made through the event.
