We came. We saw. We time traveled.
At the 2016 Mashable House at SXSW, we took attendees where no one has been before — 200 years into the future, to see just what the future has in store for the Internet we all know and love.
So what exactly does the future hold?
From virtual reality to robot races, here's what went down at this year's Mashable House.
Luckily for humankind, the future will still have delicious breakfasts.
Guests who followed Mashable on Snapchat were able to gain access to our hidden speakeasy, the Easter Egg, where Quaker kept everyone full and happy with Pinterest-worthy overnight oats served in mason jars with a full spread of amazing toppings.
Guests could also customize, mix and mashup their favorite snacks and beverages at the futuristic PepsiCo NSPIRE kitchen on wheels. There, they could create more than 1,000 unique beverage variations and pair them with mashup snacks like Mountain Dew Glazed Bacon & Sabra Tacos and Naked Beet & Pepsi glazed chicken wing tossed in Cool Ranch Dorito Togarashi.
In the future, nothing is quite how it seems — including art, music and culture.
For starters, the interactive Qualcomm Invisible Museum. By using augmented reality, the museum showcased Qualcomm invisible technologies from the Internet of Things to to mobile experiences to cognitive technology and connectivity.
There were also glitch sculptures of some of everyone's favorite Internet celebrities and memes (what's up, Bill Murray), which Flixel turned into personal glitch mementos.
And who says you need instruments to make music? Amazon Launchpad and Jamstik+ bought the house down with a pop-up concert and air guitar jam session featuring...this guy.
Sorry, Roomba. The robots of the future might just have you beat.
Amazon Launchpad hosted the world's most adorable bracket-style robot races starring the Sphero BB-8. The BB-8s, based on the droid from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," were controlled by a touchscreen app that helped guide them robots toward the finish line.
Mashable and Hasbro partnered to host an after-hours event in the Mashable House to celebrate the launch of the new mobile game, TRANSFORMERS: Earth Wars and the first-ever TRANSFORMERS-inspired album, TRANSFORMERS: ROLL OUT. Mount Holly performed the lead single live for attendees, and a larger-than-life BUMBLEBEE was onsite to take photos with guests. The newest mobile game is available for pre-order now.
The travel destination of the future? Hi-Five Island. To celebrate the launch of Mashable's new in-app Viber stickers, we created physical versions and hid them around the House. Attendees who snapped a picture, tagged it with #StickersInTheWild and dropped by Hi-Five Island had the chance to win some of the hottest Mashable swag in this, or any, century
At the Las Vegas VR Bar, you could strap in and check out virtual reality videos of Las Vegas from the comfort of the Mashable House. The result? A glimpse into the one of the hottest foodie, adventure and eye candy destinations on the planet.
The Wayin Social Wall captured all the Mashable House social buzz in real time while our SXSW Instacorps — an incredibly talented and eclectic team of Austinites made up of Chelsea Francis, Mario Villanueva, Ashley Hargrove, Ashleigh Amoroso, and Javier Gonzalez — were on the ground shooting everything from the Mashable House to downtown Austin.
And to celebrate the third season of Silicon Valley, you could also drop by HBO's Pied Piper lounge to take high-end Flixel cinemagraphs of your very own inspirational posters while also recharging and stocking up on swag.
We also had a ton of special guests dropping by to check out our Facebook Live studio, including the cast of Richard Linklater's new film "Everybody Wants Some," Jake and Amir, the guys from HBO's Silicon Valley, and Anna Kendrick and Adam DeVine, stars of "Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates."
Our MashBash was back in full force, with thousands of people lined up down the block for the chance to enter SXSW's hottest party.
Brooklyn-based MICK and former Northern State MC DJ Hesta Prynn provided the beats, while Tattly inked up guests with temporary glow-in-the-dark tattoos. Brooklyn Brewery made sure no one went thirsty, and the HBO Pied Piper lounge and Las Vegas VR Bar were on hand to supply entertainment off the dance floor.
All in all, the future is looking bright.
A big thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this year such a gigantic success. Look forward to seeing you again next year in Austin for SXSW 2017!
