MIT Reality Hack 2026
MIT Reality Hack 2026 - Winning Project
FrAImed is an AI-powered spatial photography assistant developed during MIT Reality Hack 2026, one of the world’s leading immersive technology hackathons.
Built for Snap Spectacles, FrAImed transforms how people capture real-world moments by guiding users toward better photo composition directly within augmented reality (before the photo is taken). Instead of fixing photos afterward through editing, FrAImed helps users capture meaningful moments beautifully in real time.
Context
MIT Reality Hack brings together designers, engineers, researchers, and storytellers to prototype the future of spatial computing.
Coming from a background in immersive storytelling, AR interaction design, and Snap ecosystem development, I joined a team exploring a fundamental question:
What happens when cameras stop being passive recording tools and become intelligent creative collaborators?
While smartphone cameras have reached technical perfection, users still struggle with composition, framing, and perspective — especially in spontaneous social situations.
The opportunity was clear:
Spatial computing can teach visual literacy in the moment of capture.
The Problem
Most bad photos are not caused by hardware limitations, but by missing compositional guidance.
Solution
FrAImed reimagines photography as a guided spatial experience, coaching users toward professional composition while they remain fully present.
Spatial Anchoring
Geo-located AR pins indicate ideal shooting positions and camera angles within physical space. Users move naturally through the environment until alignment is achieved.
AI Composition Guidance
Using Gemini 2.0 Flash, live camera frames are analyzed to provide real-time compositional feedback.
The system dynamically adjusts:
framing
subject placement
perspective balance
