syGlass Wins Two Awards at HarvardXR 2026

This spring, I had the opportunity to pitch syGlass at the HarvardXR Conference 2026: XR+: From Pixel to Voxel, held at Harvard University’s Gund Hall. The conference itself had impressive reach, featuring more than 30 speakers from all over the world, 14 topic sections, in-person events, a showcase, and a program spanning XR, AI, healthcare, education, gaming, spatial understanding, immersive arts, and human-centered design.

We were honored to be awarded Best Emerging XR Startup and Best Applied XR Product. Winning both felt especially significant because they recognize two different sides of what we are building: syGlass as a company with momentum, and syGlass as a practical product already helping people understand complex scientific data.

One of the best parts of the day was the demo hall, where we showed syGlass on the Sony Spatial Reality Display with stylus-based interaction directly on the screen. It gave attendees, judges, and other founders a chance to experience scientific visualization as something interactive and intuitive.

Personally, the win was surreal and incredibly validating. The future of spatial computing is not only games, entertainment, or design; scientific visualization really belongs in the broader XR conversation.

We are grateful to the HarvardXR organizers, judges, and community for creating a space where such a diverse group could meet, and we are excited to keep building from pixel to voxel.
