Qualcomm Developer: Reality Hack Devices Guide

Qualcomm is back at MIT Reality Hack as this is the place where ambitious ideas and the wildest hackers show up, and we wanted to drop our freshest IoT + XR gear right into your hands. We’re here to let you build on the same tech powering next‑gen AI gadgets, spatial computing experiences, and all the futuristic stuff everyone else only talks about.
 

This year, we’re showcasing everything from AI‑powered IoT board (Arduino UNO Q) to full blown XR headsets(Samsung Galaxy XR) and AR glasses (RayNeo XR3 Pro), so you can prototype with real sensors, real‑time perception, hand + voice interaction, and actual on‑device AI (not cloud vibes). Basically: if other hackathons give you starter kits, we’re giving you starter superpowers.
