List of hackathons about wearables in 2016

The Stupid Shit No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon Toronto is a hackathon dedicated to creating things that have absolutely no value. You are aloud to create whatever you want as long as it works and contributes nothing whatsoever to the world. Examples of useless ideas to work with are weird food delivery services, emoji intelligence, quicktime for Pegasi, millenial falcons, sensors, virtual fealty, the internet of bees, etc. You may come with a team or just meet new people to create a stupid, terrible idea that nobody needs! At the end of the day everyone will present their stupid terrible nonsense off at the Stupid Job Fair. A hardware library with cameras, Arduinos, Cutting Edge "Electronic" Sensors, and more will be made available to you for creating your stupid pointless garbage idea. Note, no tech expertiseis required, all progammers, designers, comedians, videographers, artists, thought leaders, ideationists, neolibertarian techno-utopian oversimplifiers, and fearless creaitives are invited!

The Samsung Gear VR is a mobile virtual reality headset developed by Samsung, in collaboration with Oculus. This workshop is open to everyone. You don't need to have prior experience in Blender, Unity or C#, but basic coding knowledge is expected. You should bring your laptop with the latest versions of the following free software and tools pre-installed: Blender, Unity, Android SDK (no need for Android Studio), Java Runtime, Environment, and Java Development Kit. Join this workshop to meet brilliant minds, learn and collaborate on creating applications and hardware solutions with immersive mobile virtual reality technologies and help define the future of the technology!

The ThinkCamp is a mixed event focusing on the Open Space, BarCamp and Hackathon formats that provide an open and creative environment for developing new ideas and projects. ThinkCamps invite participants from a diverse range of disciplines, skill-sets and experiences to collaborate together on addressing problems, rising to challenges, and taking advantage of new opportunities. At the ECSA ThinkCamp these will take the form of Citizen Science Challenges. Attendees will be presented with a number of Challenges to explore and invited to join the discussion at the ‘working group’ table around that issue. Feel free to move amongst the Challenges based on what you can learn, contribute, or simply enjoy being part of. There will be a Show & Tell at the end of the day, for each Challenge ‘owner’ and the teams that emerged to present back to all Conference attendees what took shape during the ThinkCamp. Support will be offered by the ThinkCamp organisers to take any of those ideas forward beyond the event itself.

This is ForsvarX's first experiment project together with Basement Innovation. The event is open to the public and enthusiasts. The purpose is to create an arena where the participants can gain insights into new ideas and help start-up businesses on the road to a tested products. Go from idea to prototype during this weekend and learn how to fly. The project is in collaboration with SOFWERX, Mil-OSS, Cellar Innovation, Startup Norway, Leading Change, Innovation Norway, Hack4Defence, Startup Weekend and Tech Stars. The event runs parallel, with Hackathon on SOFWERX in Tampa, Wright Institue in Ohio and Griffith Institute. You do not need previous knowledge to participate and will get access to resources. Examples of topics that can be selected are: GeograficSystems, Autonome Systems and Robots, Cyber, Workout, Etteretning, and Logistics. Note: This is not an event where companies can showcase their products. The event is an initiative of individuals. Ticket revenue goes to expenses such as local, stationery, food/drinks for participants and other administrative expenses.

Hack the human's senses to stretch and expand our limits in perception. This event will focus its attention on the sensory universes that insects, birds, reptiles and other animals inhabit. If our perception of the world is shaped by the sense organs we are equipped with then our view of the world is just one among a range of possibilities. How can we draw inspiration from the animal kingdom and build technologies that allow us to experience other sensory worlds? This event will bring you leading researchers of animal perception and an Oculus to get a VR taste of what it's like to be a honeybee. There will be a hackathon organized between 24-26 June at FabLab London, where you will get the opportunity to try creating new sensory substitution and augmentation devices.

Rise Hackathon is designed to test stellar teams and brilliant individuals for an exclusive opportunity to launch their start-ups or just showcase their apps to the world with the Barclays India Rise Program. Developers may join forces with any of the three squads presented to save the world from an alien invention. The mission is to tackle the Alien Race that have launched a three-pronged attack on critical Innovation Hubs on planet Earth. The Space Defence Command & Control Center (SDC3) is looking for geeks like you to rise against the evil intruders and defend the planet. You may join Squad I to defend the Blockchain Innovation Hub, Squad II to defend the FinTech Bot Army Base, or Squad III to fire your secret weapon!
