DO IT! And Friday is FREE"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"vrhackathon2014\"<\/a>Yeah, I know, who would schedule something on Memorial\u00a0Day weekend? Hardcore VR hackers, that’s who! So if you have family plans, then you are not fully dedicated to the cause. \u00a0Ok, that was harsh, but still, you do not want to miss out on this year’s VR Hackathon. \u00a0Last year was pretty fun…I should know…I was there \u00a0(that is me in the far back with the peach(?) shirt). \u00a0This is a 3 day event May 22-24. \u00a0Starts Friday night. \u00a0Friday is Free, so even if you’re on the fence, you should check it out.<\/p>\n

Friday 6pm – 10pm<\/b>
\nMega Mixer (free and open to public)
\n& VR Hackathon Kickoff<\/div>\n
Saturday 8am – 12am<\/b>
\nMain event Day #1<\/div>\n
Sunday 8am – 6pm<\/b>
\nMain event Day #2<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

So this year will be just as good with even cooler prizes. Samsung is giving away a GearVR HMD WITH THE PHONE!! That’s right, win\u00a0this category and you are set. \u00a0Of course, your team will have to figure out who actually gets the device, but that’s your problem.<\/p>\n

Unless you have been living under a rock (and given the property values in the\u00a0Bay Area that just might not be a bad idea), VR is the new hotness and everyone is in the game: Google, Samsung, Facebook (yes, Facebook!) Sony, HTC, etc… \u00a0The HMDs are more powerful, cheaper and better than before. \u00a0Tools make it easy to create PC or mobile VR games and apps. \u00a0Content from 3D video to full worlds is\u00a0starting to be created. \u00a0We are still in the beginning,\u00a0so\u00a0VC money is still flowing to start ups that can find their nitch, and\u00a0this is the time to get a team and try a hack.<\/p>\n

Plus, it’s just plain fun. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Go here<\/a> to check out the details and get signed up. \u00a0There are lots of categories so plenty of ways to win a hack. \u00a0And VC’s love hack winners. Oh, and the VR Hackathon is offering free demo space on Friday nighty for anyone in the community who wants to show off their stuff!<\/p>\n
