    I participated in a two-day Hackathon at hackMIT, where our team developed a project that bridges the gap between the virtual and physical realms. Our solution enables users to interact with physical objects from within the virtual space. Leveraging Hololens technology, we achieved real-time mapping of the physical environment, serving as a gateway for users to engage with holograms and virtual objects.

    I participated in a two-day Hackathon at hackMIT, where our team developed a project that bridges the gap between the virtual and physical realms. Our solution enables users to interact with physical objects from within the virtual space. Leveraging Hololens technology, we achieved real-time mapping of the physical environment, serving as a gateway for users to engage with holograms and virtual objects. These interactions were then transmitted to other devices that controlled real-world actions, such as maneuvering a robot. Our project essentially merged the realms of atoms and bits, facilitating seamless interaction between Mixed Reality (MR)/Virtual Reality (VR) and the physical world.
