ETCentric subscribers and their friends are invited to participate in the Creating Reality Hackathon, being held March 12-15 on the USC campus. The organizers are seeking forward-thinking industry storytellers, game designers, coders, and other creative artists. The teams that produce the top AR and VR submissions will each be awarded $5,000. This event will also be an opportunity to get a hands-on preview of the HTC Vive Pro and Intel’s Vaunt AR glasses. If you wish to participate, please submit your request via this special link (the deadline has been extended to March 7). Visit the event website for more info.

The goal of the hackathon is to form interdisciplinary teams of students and professionals to ideate, design and build immersive technology applications and experiences. Participants will learn from each other while creating one of 60 to 80 original works.

You do not have to bring a team to register or participate. Teams will be formed at the hackathon.

The ETC@USC is a sponsor of the 4-day Creating Reality Hackathon.
