The challenge

Build and demo smart city augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) projects using the Microsoft HoloLens. This free hackathon will have 10+ HoloLenses and some Emulators for you to check out, free food, and prize bundles of tech goodies - including a Microsoft HoloLens! 

HoloHack is a 24-hour hackathon presented by thyssenkrupp - a Fortune 500 and one of the first major companies to establish an innovation center at Tech Square in midtown Atlanta. After announcing a partnership with Microsoft HoloLens, thyssenkrupp is looking to hire C# and Unity 3D developers and build relationships with the Atlanta AR/MR development community. Come out to check out HoloLenses, land a job, and connect with other AR/MR enthusiasts! 

Who should participate and what's the focus?

Engineers, developers and designers with experience or interest in gaming and/or AR/MR are all invited to attend. If you are studying or have experience with C# and Unity 3D, please join us! thyssenkrupp is especially interested in meeting students, but the entire AR/MR community is invited to take part .

Projects must be a smart city AR/MR project in nature and reference will be given to projects with animations created in Unity 3D and written in C# that incorporate the HoloLens or a HoloLens emulator.

What's in it for you?

• Build cool stuff with some HoloLenses (we'll have ~20 HoloLenses on-site + some emulators)
• Meet thyssenkrupp executives and maybe land a job: they are hiring for entry-level C# and Unity 3D developer positions and internships
• Eat and drink and be merry. All sustenance will be provided.
• Prize bundles of tech goodies including a Microsoft HoloLens (omwhat?!)
• Work with the local AR/MR development and design community
• Keep what you build. thyssenkrupp is not claiming ownership of your intellectual property.

• Awesomeness
  Wow factor. Did you build something no one thought was possible? Did you use techniques that are abnormal, often impractical, and weirdly elegant?
• Design
  Is it easy to understand? Is it easy to use? Is it creative?
• Functionality
  Does it work?
