The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Ramco Institute of Technology, Rajapalayam, in collaboration with the RIT IEEE Student Branch (Computer Society), RIT GFG Student Chapter, and RIT XR R&D Center, successfully organized a National Level Workshop and Hackathon titled Immersive Web Futures Where Web Meets Extended Reality from 19th to 21st February 2026.The three-day program was conducted at the Department of CSE and witnessed active participation from students across various institutions in India. The event aimed to provide hands-on exposure to emerging technologies such as WebXR, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and immersive web development. The workshop began with an introduction to the WebXR ecosystem, followed by sessions on WebXR tools and frameworks. Participants gained practical experience in developing immersive applications using A-Frame, integrating 3D models, animations, and interactive elements. The sessions were designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world implementation. On the second day, participants explored advanced concepts in immersive scene development and deployment using HTML and JavaScript-based frameworks. The hands-on sessions enabled them to build and test their own WebXR experiences. The final day featured a hackathon, where participants worked in teams to develop innovative solutions based on immersive web technologies. The event encouraged creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills among students. The projects were evaluated based on innovation, technical implementation, and real-world applicability. A total of 50 participants actively took part in the event. All participants who successfully completed the program were awarded certificates. The winners of the hackathon were recognized with cash prizes and certificates. The workshop and hackathon served as an excellent platform for students to enhance their technical expertise, explore cutting-edge technologies, and gain practical exposure to the rapidly evolving field of extended reality.
