European VR Hackathon in Brussels
VR Hackathon is coming to Europe! Hosted in the heart of Europe, the city of Brussels.
Save the date: 15, 16 and 17 January 2015!
We want to create an environment that embraces new ideas and technology solutions for immersive technologies. We know it takes longer than a weekend to build great solutions, but this is ample time to form teams of good people and begin creating great solutions.
This is a call for European tech developers, game programmers, makers, UI/UX designers, artists, animators, storytellers, enthusiasts, professionals, students, and all that want to spend a weekend creating solutions with virtual reality and other immersive technologies!
