XRSPACE Hosts the #Hackvatar AI Avatar Hackathon in Tokyo

On September 12, 2026, XRSPACE CO., LTD., a Taiwanese company based in Taipei, will be holding an exciting hackathon titled 'Build Your Own AI Avatar - Hackathon for Developers & Vibe Coders #Hackvatar' in Tokyo. This marks the sixth edition of the developer-focused event, which aims to bring together ingenious minds to create and showcase innovative AI avatars. The participation is free for all developers and interested individuals.

XRSPACE has been active in fostering innovation through events in both Taipei and Tokyo, engaging developers with workshops that focus on AI avatar creation. Recently, on August 8, a hackathon in Tokyo supported 40 teams who completed their AI avatar projects within just one day. Building upon this momentum, the upcoming event will expand the building rules, allowing participants to either present pre-developed works or create their solutions on-site within a two-hour timeframe. Each team will showcase their AI avatar creations through live demonstrations at the venue.

What to Expect at the Event

Participants will be utilizing the Perxona Connect Kit to develop and demonstrate their AI avatars. This versatile kit enables integration of AI avatars into websites, applications, and various digital services. The hackathon will emphasize showcasing the potential of what can be created when AI, which traditionally communicates through text, is given a face. The event welcomes diverse genres, including AI agents, interactive services, and entertainment.

In addition to the live demonstrations, the event will feature a voting system for attendees, awards for outstanding creations, a technology roundtable, and networking opportunities for developers. This format will not only highlight the innovative solutions presented but also foster communication and collaborations among participants. Observers interested in AI avatars or AI agents are also welcome to attend.

The event is proud to be held at Startup Island Taiwan – Tokyo Hub, emphasizing the supportive connection between startup innovation communities in Japan and Taiwan. This venue serves as a collaborative environment for entrepreneurs and developers to exchange ideas and work together.
