Welcome to the NdotLight x SCU Hackathon!

Over the next 48 hours, join us in pushing the boundaries of mixed reality applications using Meta Quest Technology.

TRACK 1 - Mixed Reality Board Games

Participants will reimagine classic tabletop experiences for the digital age. Potential projects might incldue:

  • AR Chess: Make the game come to life and move..
  • Puzzle games that turn your room into a virtual escape room.
TRACK 2 - Mixed Reality Productivity Tools

Students will develop practical applications that enhance work and organization in 3D space. Examples of projects might be:

  • Spatial Task Management: Organize tasks in 3D space.
  • Virtual Sticky Notes: Place notes around the room.
  • Room Planning: Plan and decorate your room using AR.

TECHNOLOGY STACK

Participants will work with state-of-the-art Meta Quest headsets, utlizing key features such as:

  • Spatial Anchors: Placing virtual objects in the real world.
