The AR/VR Africa Metathon is an expanded program built around its flagship hackathon, the AR/VR Africa Hackathon.
It is a call to all who love creativity, innovation and learning in Africa; an opportunity to get hands-on experience in AR and VR design and development, and meet others who also want to learn and create with AR and VR. The AR/VR Africa Metathon is open for applications and focuses on the rapidly evolving immersive technologies of Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality.
The 2022 AR/VR Africa Metathon is a planned program of events which comprises three major events.
