 Hackathon

With the title Game of Cloud, the second University Hackathon organized by the Capgemini Chair of the Universitat de València will take place on November 24 and will bring together teams from all over Spain in a shared experience in the creation and development of new technologies.

In this meeting, conducted in collaboration with the universities of Oviedo, Murcia and Polytechnic of Madrid, and sponsored by IBM, will participate multidisciplinary teams formed by between 3 and 5 people with the objective of developing a staggering scene from dances and choreographies which will be processed in real time through the Microsoft Kinect cameras on a square stage.

With this type of events it is intended that teams experiment with new technologies in a relaxed and friendly environment that fosters their creativity. In addition, the Hackathon has the economic incentive of a € 1000 prize on an Amazon card for the winning group of the different participating geographical locations, plus another € 1,000 on Amazon card for the national winner.

The appointment will take place next Friday, 24 November at the School of Engineering of the Universidad de València. The complete program and the bases of the contest can be consulted on this link.
