A Historic Hackathon Originating from Silicon Valley

With its origins in the release of the iPhone in 2007, VisionDevCamp carries 18+ years of hackathon heritage. Starting with iPhoneDevCamp (2007–2009), it expanded to iPadDevCamp (2010), iOSDevCamp (2010–2013), and now VisionDevCamp for the spatial-computing era.

  • Team size 1 – 6 — solo teams welcome; large teams discouraged.
  • Mixed-skill team formation — staff actively support new participant team-up.
  • Multi-team participation — you can join more than one team.
  • Public recognition — winners receive social media validation and publicity.
  • Small monetary prizes awarded after judging.
  • Loaner hardware available to participants during the event.
