ELIGIBILITY VRHack@Cal is open to all undergraduates of all majors. Whether you're a backend coder, a graphic designer, or just looking to learn more about VR, all are welcome. REQUIREMENTS Hackers will form teams up to THREE people and create a VR application that focuses on education. Something important to note is that writing code is NOT necessary. Teams can either create a graphic design showcasing their application, or create a real VR application. Graphic designs should be as detailed as possible and should really showcase the "VR" parts of the application. Certain websites can help with VR prototypes (https://blog.mozvr.com/quick-vr-prototypes/) Note that judging will award far more points to teams that actually create a real VR application with source code.  Every team will also be respondible for submitting a powerpoint describing their application and its relevance to education, as well as a YouTube video talking over this powerpoint or showcasing the application. JUDGING CRITERIA Complexity How complex is your application? If you wrote code and have a working VR app, you will likely score full points for this section. Judges will also account for how thorough and detailed graphic designs appear. Creativity Applications that showcase virtual reality in a unique an interesting way will be rewarded with more points. Relevance to Education The theme of this hackathon is education so make sure your application is at least somewhat related. Market Feasibility How good of an idea is the application. If judges can see many people using this application, more points will be rewarded. AWARD 1st Place: $500 + HTC VR Headset(worth $800) 2nd Place: $300 3rd Place: $100 IMPORTANT INFO: 1.
