Runway to Reality: AI Fashion Hackathon
Build the future of fashion tech using Gemini AI and the Vonage Video API.
The version everyone leaves with.
A working fashion tech prototype combining Gemini AI and real-time video.
Two tools. Two very different afternoons.
Neither is the beginner option. It comes down to what's already on your laptop, and whether you want a desktop IDE at all. Four questions, then bring the one that fits.
Already know which one you want?
What's on the laptop you'll bring?
Two hours, four movements.
- 0:00 – 0:15Intro
Grab a name tag and a slice, say hello to the instructor, and meet the people either side of you — you'll be asking them things later, so it pays to know their names now. Low pressure, high creativity, ship something messy. Then a quick word on what the room is building tonight, and you're off.
- 0:15 – 0:30Credits & setup
The instructor shares the Google Cloud credits with the room. Everyone gets their environment ready — whichever tool they brought. Nobody should be installing anything once the build starts.
- 0:30 – 1:35Build
Heads down, and enjoy it — this is the part everyone came for. The agent does the typing; you decide what it's making. Ask the room when you get stuck; someone two seats away hit the same wall ten minutes ago. Want more structure? The codelab walks the spec-driven route — Setup → Plan → Review → Build → API → Verify — but nobody has to follow it.
- 1:35 – 2:00Share & submit
Show the room what you made — two minutes, screen-shared from your seat. Half-finished is welcome; the wobbly ones are usually the most interesting. Say what surprised you along the way, and cheer for everyone else while you're at it. Then submit your build before you leave. This is the one thing not to skip — it's what puts your name and your chapter on the showcase, and it takes about two minutes.
26 builds.
LYNX lets you add your whole wardrobe into an AI wardrobe so that you can mix and match your daily outfits, get new clothing suggestions, and also try on new pieces of clothing from online shopping. It's your online wardrobe but with a lot of customization
“What really surprise me was how powerful gemini was, especially in combination with the live video”
SecondLook makes fashion resale as simple as showing an item. Instead of starting with a listing form, it uses multimodal AI to see, listen, understand condition, generate the listing, research the market, and recommend a price. By removing the friction of resale, SecondLook helps fashion move from one person’s past into another person’s style. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M-gB_qWJuZUL2FXceOGHevAX9Xb6tVnU/view?usp=drive_link
“Time is a little tight!! Lol, but it is FUN!!”
“i was surprised with how fast the time went by”
an AI stylist that can see your closet, and see you. We built an AI co-shopper that actually knows your real closet, because it scanned it. Hold any item up to a live camera: shirt, shorts, shoes, doesn't matter how many at once, and Gemini catalogs it into your digital closet in seconds, no manual photo uploads. Tap any item and the stylist immediately gives you feedback.
“how powerful gemini was”
Everyone already does this. You're standing in front of a mirror before something that matters, you take a photo, you send it to three friends, and you wait. Then you get back "yeah nice" from one and nothing from the other two. Committee Couture puts the picture in the middle of that conversation. You get on a call with your friends, one of you sits in frame, and the others just talk. Say "green french coat with black buttons" and it's on them. Say "beige beret" and that's on them too. Every su
“The vonage API was giving us some issue, but thanks ot the team present at the hackthon we were able ot ship in time”
Deadstock Live Lab is a material-grounded AI co-design studio for circular fashion ateliers and independent designers. Instead of hallucinating garments from thin air, designers scan physical fabric leftovers and rolls using live camera vision, and Gemini instantly estimates yardage, weave, and drape to synthesize a manufacturable capsule collection. The cool part: every garment zone is mathematically bound to observed deadstock inventory, and if a roll is removed mid-session, the causal constra
“What surprised us was Gemini Flash's ability to reason about physical textile physics directly from camera frames. It correctly identified weave structures, estimated fabric weight/drape, and understood that a rigid denim remnant can anchor an overcoat shell while a lightweight offcut should be reserved for collar bands or sleeve linings. Furthermore, when paired with structured schema and token c”

Pocket Stylist is a personal stylist on your phone. It looks at your body and learns your personality, then shows you wearing outfits made for you. You take four photos (front, back, left, right) and one of your hand, then add your height, weight and a short description of yourself. Pocket Stylist then: 1. Measures your body on your device. Computer vision (MediaPipe pose estimation and body segmentation) estimates your shoulder width, chest, waist and hips, arm length, inseam, and body shape.
“I expected to give some time but it was a very short, we werent able to develop the frontend”
This project helps anyone create an outfit for an event or occasion based on what they have in their wardrobe. It will curate inspo styles by using Gemini to pull styles from Pinterest that match the theme, and integrates a webcam using both Gemini and Vonage to confirm pieces that match the vibe.
“I was happy to find out that using Gemini on Antigravity would allow me to build a fully functioning application in under ten minutes, with just a description. All I had to outline was the design of the app I wanted and Antigravity was able to build what I envisioned without me having to code it myself.”
MorphoMix is an AI-powered styling dashboard built for a high-paced hackathon. It bridges the gap between digital moodboards and your physical wardrobe by analyzing your live video feed to deliver instant, personalized outfit recommendations.
“How easy it is to create apps with AI Studio”
The Shared Rack (aka Runway to Reality AI) is a shared-closet app for three roommates — Maya, Liam, and Sophie — built around the idea that picking an outfit is a daily chore you shouldn't have to think about.
“Nothing really”
How many of us have stood in front of a closet full of clothes and said, “I have nothing to wear”? The problem isn't that we don't own enough clothes. The problem is that we don't get enough value out of what we already own. Meet REWEAR — an AI wardrobe intelligence platform that helps you wear more, own less, and buy better. REWEAR starts with your existing closet and your upcoming calendar. Gemini understands where you're going and creates outfits using only clothes you already own. But here's
“-”
Your body doesn't need an algorithm. Tell it how you're feeling, show it your look, and get styling suggestions shaped around your mood never a comment on your body, ever. It's for anyone who's stared in the mirror unsure if the problem is them or just the outfit. The AI never touches who you are, only what you're wearing you stay in control of every change.
“How much faster Antigravity got us from a blank repo to a working, editorial-feeling UI the multi-agent setup meant we could have it scaffold the landing page and camera flow almost in parallel, which we didn't expect to work as smoothly as it did. The bigger surprise was where it didn't hold up: once we had a real component structure and started iterating on specific screens (like the before/af”
PetFit is a shared AI virtual fitting room for pets. A pet owner and a friend join a live Vonage video room, capture a frame from the pet's video, and use Gemini to generate a virtual try on of a chosen outfit. Both participants view the results together, vote, and the owner makes the final choice. It's a fun, social way to preview a look before committing to it, not a sizing or fit guarantee.
“We assumed any frame captured from the video would give Gemini a clean reference to work with. Turns out frames captured mid motion often blurred or cropped out the dog's legs and paws, which made it much harder for Gemini to recognize and preserve them correctly.”
Who Mogs Who is a multiplayer video game where AI judges your outfit against a theme in real time, guides your pose so the photo's fair, and crowns a winner after a final round.
“Leveraging both Vonage and Gemini”
AI Stylist bridges the gap between seeing clothes online and knowing how they look together in the real world. Users simply paste product URLs from any e-commerce site, and our autonomous multi-agent pipeline takes over. It scrapes the web pages, uses Vision AI to extract fashion attributes, generates a photorealistic virtual try-on of the outfit, and acts as a professional stylist to grade the combination—even searching the live web to recommend better pieces if your outfit clashes.
“I was genuinely blown away by how effectively the Gemini agent acted as a strict, professional stylist. Instead of rating every outfit highly, it gave harsh, nuanced feedback on clashing patterns and seamlessly triggered the Web-Search agent to autonomously find alternative pieces that actually fixed the outfit!”
You can upload a photo of your outfit or a piece of clothing and the site will suggest how to style it to make it goth.
“It made basically the same site demoed here today.”

Online shopping relies on generic sizing and studio models, leaving buyers guessing how clothes will actually look on them. Our AI platform transforms two simple photos into a personalized virtual fitting room in seconds. Automated Sizing: Extracts precise body measurements and shape profiles using computer vision. Color Matching: Recommends optimal color palettes based on skin undertone analysis. Photorealistic Try-On: Renders any dress tailored directly onto the user's body shape
“It was easier than we expected! Tokens credits can be used faster than you think so planning before executing prompts is really critical”

“Ease of use to integrate all APIs”
“Time constraints was crazy.”
LookShift — see the impact of what you’re wearing, then see something better. Fashion is one of the world’s most polluting industries, and most people never see the health or environmental cost of an outfit in the moment they put it on. LookShift closes that gap: point a camera at a look — live or from a short video — and get an instant read on risks to wearers, makers, and the planet, plus a healthier, greener alternative on a split screen.
“Vonage API for real time video is surprisingly fast and easy to implement.”
