Inception
Hackathon II
Two days of building with world models. Inception returned to Bengaluru on August 22–23 for its second hackathon, spanning robotics, interactive media and gaming.
August 22–23, 2026 · Completed
Two days. More room to build.
The second Inception hackathon continued the series in Bengaluru over two days, exploring interactive worlds, simulations and games that respond in real time.
Day 1
August 22, 2026
Day 2
August 23, 2026
Three tracks. One frontier.
02
Interactive Media
Responsive stories, characters and real-time experiences shaped by their users.
03
Gaming
Playable worlds, game mechanics and AI-native experiences.
Beyond predicting the next token.
World models learn to simulate reality: space, time, physics, cause and effect. Inception is a hackathon where you build on top of one: real-time, generative, interactive apps that turn a model of the world into something people can actually use.
Inception
will run again.
Hackathons I and II are complete. Want to join a future edition, or want to host one with us?
