    Make real data easier to understand in space using Godot and Meta Quest 3
    Your goal: choose one or more Open Data Hub datasets and turn them into a small interactive spatial visualization

    What You Have To Build
    Build one small XR/desktop prototype that:

    • use live or dynamically retrieved data from the Open Data Hub;
    • present the data through a clear and engaging 3D or XR visualization;
    • allow the user to explore or interact with the information;
    • demonstrate how spatial visualization adds value, reveals patterns, or makes the data easier to understand.

    You are not building an XR app from zero.
    You are adapting a working Godot template to make data understandable in space.

    Gamification for everyday activities
    Design and build software that turns a boring activity into a points-and-levels journey, with real rewards.

    Many useful everyday activities —studying, working out, repetitive tasks, household chores, learning —get put off because they feel boring.
    Gamification techniques boost engagement, butoften stay superficial: badges with no real value.
    The challenge: connecting playful motivation to a tangible benefit, both inside and outside the app.

    Build software that pushes users toward better organizing or carrying out an everyday activity that may feel “boring,” through a reward-based gamification system.
    The software must include a points-and-levels system that unlocks benefits both in-app (e.g. advanced features) and out-app (e.g. gift cards).
