One of the biggest XR hackathons is back

Omari Hitson has a knack for taking an unproven idea and making it something people can actually trust. As the XR product design lead for emerging technologies at JPMorgan Chase, he's had to earn that trust the hard way — in an institution where every decision needs to be airtight, he's built a practical approach to early-stage prototyping that moves quickly from “what if” to “here's why this works.”

His background in industrial design shaped how he thinks: a product either works in someone's hands or it doesn't. He brings that same honesty to spatial computing.
