What The HACK 2018 (Immersive Realities Edition [VR/AR/MR])
Last year, we organized the first edition of What The Hack (WTH) – which saw more than a hundred participants from Singapore and overseas come together to design and build solutions for real-world problems. After a short span of 24 hours, the judges saw an impressive variety of hacks. Many of the hacks displayed design thinking, strong engineering skills, and creative application of new technologies.
This year, we are inspired to make WTH even bigger and better. We hope you can join us.
What The Hack @ SUTD is a 24 Hour hackathon that aims to bring together people of multiple disciplines and provides them with the resources to jumpstart their ideas. This year, we have carved out a special category for Virtual Reality (VR) to see what interesting hacks can come out of this exciting space!
What you get out of What The Hack:
- Bring crazy ideas to life
- Learn to use VR-related software and hardwares!
- Network with our sponsors!
Come solo or come as a team! Gather your fellow hackers with a maximum team number of 4 or come down and form teams on the day itself! You can go at the theme's solo too! Who knows! You might even be able to have a bigger share of the prize!
