Day 4. XRCamp Spring 2026.
This morning, students configured their first AI agents inside the MUD XR Platform — building intelligent, responsive characters that live inside their immersive worlds.
This afternoon: back to the desk. 3D scanned objects, 3D printed figures, and JavaScript running in XR Creator Studio. The scan becomes a model. The model becomes a world. The world gets an AI agent.
Two more days. Friday is the exhibition.
