MLH Local Hack Day 4 Challenge

What it does

Explored a bit about XR

Challenges we ran into

Getting out of the comfort zone

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Did not ignore it as something for people specifically working/aspiring to be in the field.

What we learned

Quite a few things:

1. XR is basically the combination of AR, VR and MR
2. It has a huge potential in the industry for a ton of things
3. Difference between:
   VR - A complete immersion that shuts us of the real world! (Real-world observation: The people with the goggle-like thing to play games use VR ),
   AR - Digital elements in the real world through a device.( Real-world observation, getting a lion into our room through google's 3D animals' option)
   MR - Mix of VR and AR (It's a work-in-progress concept used by Microsoft's HoloLens
   

Potential/Interesting Use Cases

1. Next-generation Meetups (Meet people without traveling at the comfort of your home)
2. Battle Phobias (People have started using this for therapy sessions
3. Capture and transfer anything around you

An idea I would like to see

Visiting your dream location with a person of choice (they could be people you wish to emulate, lost touch with, or not alive anymore). Though replicating a human is going to be a really complex AI system (I think).
