What is UI for AR/VR?
Every day, we use common UI elements like buttons, sliders, and scrollbars to interact with our phones, computers, and tablets. However, UI patterns for AR/VR have yet to be established. Participants are encouraged to design original UI elements for the following AR/VR interaction technologies: hand-object (Leap Motion, Meta), reticle-object (Cardboard, Gear VR), or controller-object (Oculus Touch, Vive).
Will you have AR/VR devices I can use at the hackathon?
If you would like to test and demonstrate your UI, we recommend you bring your own headset to the event. Devices may be available, but will be prioritized for presenting concepts at the end of the evening.
Do I need 3D design experience to participate?
All participants interested in developing UI elements for AR/VR are welcome. You are encouraged to build working prototypes in Unity, Maya, C4D, Blender, and Maya. Peers will be available to answer questions, but no formal instruction will be provided. Participants without 3D design experience are encouraged to visualize a high-fidelity mockup of their concept in Photoshop or After Effects.
Where is the event? 
DESIGNATION is located at 1871's 3.0 space, on the 13th floor of Merchandise Mart. Detailed instructions will be sent to attendees prior to the event.
Will there be food?
Please eat dinner prior to the event. There is a Freshii onsite at 1871, and several options on the second floor of Merchandise Mart.
