Organized by the student-run Virtual Reality Club at UC San Diego with support from the Qualcomm Institute-based Center for Cyber-Archaeology and Sustainability (CCAS), the Cyber-Archaeology VR hackathon invites participation by graduate and undergraduate students from CSE and other departments on campus.
The VR Hackathon is set to take place April 7-9, 2017 from 5pm on Friday to noon on Sunday.
Participants will have 36 hours to create a Virtual Reality experience with applications for at-risk archaeological sites from the eastern Mediterranean region. CCAS will provide all attendees with a wealth of archaeological data, including point-cloud LIDAR scans, photos, and 3D models of cultural heritage sites and artifacts, as well as VR equipment for their hacks.
The team with the best overall project will receive a cash prize of $1,000.
