New Realities Competition Finale: XR for a Better Future

Under the patronage of Bavaria’s Minister for Digital Affairs, Dr. Fabian Mehring, the New Realities Competition 2026 – hosted by XR HUB Bavaria and 1E9 – celebrates innovative ideas that harness XR technologies to improve our world and create new experiences. This year's focus is on the fusion of Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
From a pool of submissions, the most promising projects have been selected to present their concepts at this grand finale. Finalists will showcase their ideas to a distinguished jury – and the winning project will receive a € 1.000 prize, recognizing excellence in leveraging XR and AI for societal benefit.
