Developers, designers, gamers, physicians, therapists, psychologists, and educators in Germany! If you're passionate about using technology to bring progressive ideas to healthcare, then you're invited to participate in the St. Mauritius Therapy Clinic's Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation hackathon (VR4REHAB 2018). Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, you'll be challenged to conceive and design a prototype VR therapy that can improve the therapeutic success of children and young people with disabilities.

Mixed reality encompasses a wide range of experiences that previously were considered to be only augmented reality or only virtual reality. In mixed reality, people, places, and objects from your physical and virtual worlds merge together in a blended environment that becomes your canvas.  Interacting with holograms in mixed reality enables you to visualize and work with your digital content as part of your real world. Realize mixed reality’s promise with Microsoft HoloLens. In this developer session, you will learn about Mixed Reality and the HoloLens and get a hands-on introduction to developing applications for the Windows Mixed Reality platform. Your host of the day will be Nick Trogh, Senior Technical Evangelist at Microsoft. A lunch will be offered during the session.  Prerequisites: This is a hands-on developer session so bring your developer laptop. If you already have a HoloLens, make sure to bring it too! :) We will be using the Unity middleware to develop applications – this session is not an introduction to Unity, so make sure you’re proficient with Unity development. There are great learning resources available on the Unity website. Make sure your laptop has the necessary software installed on it – you don’t want to miss out on the hands-on exercises because you need to install the tools! Agenda: 9:30-12:15:  Introduction to Mixed Reality and the Hololens. Developing for Windows Mixed Reality. Hands-on-lab: introduction to Windows Mixed Reality development.  12:15-13:00: Lunch (included) 13:00-17:00: Hackathon

About the Port of Antwerp The Port of Antwerp is the leading integrated maritime and logistical hub of Europe and the second largest European seaport. Because of its central location in the heart of Europe, and thanks to a widespread network of multimodal connections, the port is optimally connected with the economic centers over all of Europe. Innovation, one of its most important key drivers, makes sure the port of Antwerp is always looking one step further than the current supply chain needs. Next to economic development, the port attaches great importance to the development of social as well as sustainable management. Brief tour description Albert canal: Inland shipping as a sustainable transport mode (challenge: mobility). Main hub: maritime rail terminal to bundle outgoing traffic of multiple maritime terminals to diverse destinations in the (inter)national hinterland + same organization for ingoing traffics from the hinterland (challenge: mobility). Pipelines and their positive influence on environment and mobility: in the field of transport emissions, noise disturbance, congestion, negative visual effects, pipelines score the best (challenge: mobility). Renewable energy: windmills, solar panels, LNG and methane. The port is home to one of the biggest windmill parks on land in Belgium. We also get to see the closed waste heap Hooge Maey. Via pipings, energy is being produced and so it doesn’t end up in the atmosphere. Solar panels also deliver electricity to be used in the port (challenge: sustainability).  Scanners and Amoras: on-site and mobile scanners from Customs, to control containers. Amoras stands for “Antwerpse Mechanische Ontwatering, Recyclage en Applicatie van Slib”. This project is a solution for the storage and processing of maintenance dredging (challenge: safety & security).
