The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build and evaluate a three-person, co-located mixed-reality engine inspection trainer that raises first-pass rates above the current paper checklist.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Maintain a stable shared spatial anchor so multiple co-located headsets perceive one virtual object in the same place
- Implement role-asymmetric multiplayer state so instructor-only content never reaches trainee views
- Translate a written inspection procedure into a guided, auditable 3D interaction flow
- Design and run a small usability evaluation that produces a defensible comparison against an existing baseline
- Achieve feature parity for a key user path across two different headset platforms

Careers
Career paths this challenge builds toward
Completing this challenge demonstrates skills that transfer directly to these roles:
XR Software Engineer
This challenge mirrors production XR work: shipping a multiplayer headset application with shared anchors, role-based views, and cross-device parity. It proves you can take a real training problem to a runnable, testable build under hardware constraints.

Immersive Training Solutions Engineer
Industrial training vendors need engineers who turn written procedures into guided 3D experiences and prove learning gains. Designing the instructor flow, 3D interactions, and a baseline evaluation maps directly to delivering enterprise training products.

Multiplayer XR Developer
Studios building co-located collaborative XR require stable shared anchoring and clean networked role state. Building three-user co-location with enforced asymmetric views demonstrates the exact networking discipline these teams hire for.
