Description:
On 18th of February 2012 in Bologna reality is going to be hacked.
WhyMCA, in collaboration with Microsoft and Nokia, is proud to
announce the first Italian hackaton focused on interaction between
mobile and reality.
It has been 3 years since WhyMCA moved its first step, a barcamp about
mobile world, where professionals and passionate met together in an
informal event. Since 2009 lot of things have changed and our main focus
moved on mobile developers and designers. We realized two developer
conferences, four happyhours about cross-platform topics (from mobile
gaming to in-app monetization and OpenData) and the first Italian mobile hackathon.
Now we are ready for the next challenge: Hack Reality, a hackathon where attendees
have the opportunity to create hacks on real stuffs, mixing together
mobile devices with controllers (Arduino, OpenPicus, Netduino),
Augmented Reality (Wikitude), games (LEGO MINDSTORMS, Kinect), 3d
printing, domotic systems and more. Everything will interact,
everything will go mobile, everything in just one day.
The hype is high, a lot of people joined our challenge and more than
80 developers and designers will meet at the CNR of Bologna on 18th of
February.
Cost:
Free
