Spatial Intelligence + Generative 3D Hackathon with Mint, Tripo, World Labs and Founders Inc.
Spatial Intelligence + Generative 3D Hackathon — Event Plan
World Labs × Tripo × mint.gg · One-day hackathon · San Francisco
Overview
We're teaming up with World Labs, Tripo, and mint.gg for a one-day hackathon in San Francisco at the intersection of spatial intelligence and generative 3D.
Participants will get hands-on access to some of the best tools in 3D:
World Labs — large world models for generating immersive worlds
Tripo — rapid 3D asset generation for creating game-ready objects
mint.gg — agentic creation platform and developer tools for bringing those worlds and assets together as interactive, playable experiences
Together, we'll explore what becomes possible when entire worlds, detailed 3D objects, and real-time scenes can be generated from little more than a prompt or an image — and then quickly assembled, programmed, and shared.
Tracks
Gaming — Playable worlds, games, interactive experiences, and real-time 3D scenes
Physical AI — Robotics, simulation, embodied agents, and spatial reasoning
VFX — Visual effects, virtual production, cinematic experiences, simulations, and creative real-time graphics
Open — Experimental projects that do not fit neatly into the other tracks
Prizes
Top 2 teams in each category (Gaming, Physical AI, VFX, and Open) each win $1k in credits from each of the three partners:
$1k in World Labs credits
$1k in Tripo credits
$1k in mint.gg credits
That's $3k in total credits per winning team
