VisionDevCamp Tokyo 2025

Yes, you can definitely participate. Hackathons aren't just for experienced engineers. For example, 3D modelers, designers, project managers, and professionals from media-related fields can participate even without coding experience. We welcome anyone who is comfortable working with computers.

Even if you have no development experience, you can participate if you're interested in Apple Vision Pro or visionOS. You'll need a proactive attitude to complete an application either individually or as part of a team. Experienced volunteer staff and mentors will be available at the venue to support your development, providing a comfortable environment to work in.

Unfortunately, visionOS development cannot be done solely with a Windows PC. As stated in Apple's official documentation, visionOS development requires a Mac with Apple Silicon and Xcode running on macOS. If you don't have a Mac, you'll need to share resources with a team member who does have a Mac environment.

Unity's visionOS support (PolySpatial) for Vision Pro app development is available for Unity Pro/Enterprise/Industry plan subscribers. It is not officially supported on the free Unity Personal edition. If you don't have a license yet, you can use the 30-day trial of Unity Pro or consider using Apple's native SDKs (SwiftUI, RealityKit, etc.).

Even if you register individually, you can form a team with other participants through the self-introduction and idea sharing sessions on the first day. VisionDevCamp has dedicated time for participant introductions and idea sharing on the first day, which is when team building takes place. Our staff will do their best to ensure that participants successfully form teams and can perform at their best!

While it's possible to develop individually, we generally recommend forming a team (it's easier to develop an app that way, and more fun!).

Yes, you can still participate on just Saturday and Sunday. However, since team formation usually happens on the first night through the second day's idea sharing session, it's advisable to express your ideas and areas of interest in advance on Discord to facilitate team formation with other participants. If you let us know about your absence on the first day through the pre-event survey, the organizing team will provide as much support as possible. Please check your email or Discord for more details.

On the first evening, there will be self-introductions and idea sharing, after which participants will freely interact and form teams. The organizers and staff will provide support, so even if you attend alone, you can confidently join a team. You can also choose to develop individually if you prefer. It's not mandatory to form teams on the day of the event - you can participate with a pre-existing team or form one in advance through Discord.

If you want to start team formation before the event, the first step is to introduce yourself and share your ideas on Discord. Use the "#team-formation" channel to express what you'd like to create or to recruit members for your team. You can also check other participants' ideas and tech stacks, and reach out to join projects that interest you.

Absolutely! VisionDevCamp Tokyo 2025 actively welcomes beginners and those with no prior experience. Mentors and experienced staff will be on site to help with any questions or technical challenges. Team building and ideation sessions are designed to help participants collaborate and learn from each other while having fun.

No, we don't provide monitors. Please bring your own if needed.

IoTone Japan, the company handling payments, is a corporation owned by one of the co-organizers of this event and serves as the entity managing payment processing. Therefore, administrative procedures for payments are conducted through IoTone Japan.

Please follow Luma's regulations. The organizers cannot provide individual support, so if you wish to transfer your ticket, please follow Luma's procedures.

• Your laptop (Mac with Apple Silicon is required for visionOS development)
• Charger and any necessary adapters
• Headphones/earbuds (if you want to work with audio without disturbing others)
• Water bottle
• Comfortable clothes (the venue will be air-conditioned, so layers are recommended)
• Any special equipment you need for your project (e.g., additional monitors, peripherals)

The conference will primarily be conducted in Japanese, but since there will be many English-speaking participants, presentations will have English subtitles. English-speaking staff will also be available at all times to answer questions and provide assistance in English.

Yes, meals will be provided at the venue according to the schedule. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please inform us in advance through the pre-event questionnaire.

• Join the VisionDevCamp Tokyo Discord server
• Prepare a self-introduction slide in advance
• If you're looking for a team, share ideas and gather information in the Discord server's [#self-introduction] and [#team-formation] channels
• If you're using Unity, prepare the Unity Pro trial version and install necessary SDKs
• Set up your Mac environment (download Xcode and necessary libraries)
• Reading the following official documentation will help make development smoother:
  • visionOS Pathway - A collection of reference documents for getting started with visionOS app development
  • Introductory visionOS samples - Sample code for basic elements
  • Swift development tutorials - Basic tutorials for those unfamiliar with Apple platforms like SwiftUI (English only)

The venue will have power strips available, but the quantity may be limited. If you need to charge multiple devices simultaneously, bringing your own power strip would be more comfortable.

Yes, absolutely. Mentors will be available at the venue to answer questions if you encounter any issues. However, to save time, it's best to set up Xcode and Unity in advance if possible.

We apologize, but accommodation arrangements are the responsibility of each participant. Please book hotels or other lodging as needed.

It's not mandatory. Individual participation is possible. However, team development tends to yield more comprehensive products as it brings diverse perspectives and ideas, and allows for sharing technical responsibilities and workload. Most importantly, the joy and learning experience of collaborating with teammates to immerse yourself in development is a unique pleasure of team participation, so we recommend considering a team if possible.
