What to take with you

• Computer with Unity 5 , Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and the installed package for developing universal Windows applications or Windows Phone 8.1 SDK
• A smartphone on Windows Phone 8.1 or Windows Phone 10 - you can insert it into the cardboard issued on the spot. Although if you have a phone on a different platform, or no phone at all, or it is not smart enough, come anyway!
• Optionally, bring your team and idea with you - but even if they are not there, register and come, you will not regret!
• If you have never developed a VR application, you can preview a course on creating virtual and augmented reality applications on the Windows platform.
• We will have food, we will have pizza, we will have internet - but as practice shows, this is always not enough on hackathons! Bring with you chocolates and alternative ways to access the Internet - just in case. And also a toothbrush, a favorite pillow and a book to read at night.
