The Seattle VR hackathon focuses on the rapidly evolving technology of Virtual Reality and its many relatives - augmented reality, mixed reality, and novel interface technologies like gestures and haptics.

The VR hackathon isn't just about technology, however - it's about content creation, design, and problem solving. If you have skills or interest in 3D modelling, film, graphics, education, sound design, game design, or any problem domain where VR might be relevant, a VR hackathon will be an event you'll enjoy and learn from.

This Devpost group provides a platform for where you and your team can share the projects you made at the Seattle VR Hackathon! This will be a great way for you to get your project out there on the Interweb, and stay connected with fellow hackathon participants.
