The partner of the event is INRTU School of Information Technology and Data Science, the Director of the School Alexey Govorkov is the jury member. Applications will be accepted until March 3.
According to the organizers, one of the goals of the hackathon is to build a strong community of young professionals interested in VR and 3D, involving participants in creating practical solutions in the field of virtual reality and three-dimensional modeling, aimed at solving current problems in education, medicine, architecture and industrial design.
The hackathon will also facilitate the creation of innovative and original VR and 3D content that can be used in various fields, from education to entertainment. In addition, bringing together young professionals from technical and creative fields to work together on VR and 3D content will allow them to form interdisciplinary teams and exchange ideas and skills.
In the first stage of the hackathon, participants will be trained within the selected track. To advance to the second stage, teams will need to describe their VR project idea in detail.
The second stage includes the project's development and video presentation.
The finals will be held in person at MPSU's partner site.
The hackathon program consists of three tracks: 3D Modeling - creation of a 3D model in Blender for uploading to VR Concept with textures and animations; Programming - development of an interactive VR project in VR Concept; Engineering Track - creation of a 3D model in CAD for uploading to VR Concept and setting up the technological process.
The winners of the hackathon will receive VR helmets, a license to use VR Concept, and prizes from partners. Each team will present their project to a professional jury of VR and 3D industry experts.
The best teams will be invited for an internship at VR Concept, wh ere they will be given a unique opportunity to further develop their ideas under the guidance of experienced mentors. This will be a key step in realizing the winners' potential and opening new perspectives in virtual reality and 3D modeling.
