The RCC hosted a visualization hackathon for three years. The event was held in the Zar Room at UChicago's Crerar Library.
Over the last few years, attendees have developed applications for HTC Vive headset, Google cardboards, Google Daydream View, Multi-touch Virtual Reality Workbench (workbench that combines a multi-touch table with a head-tracked stereoscopic display wall), Geomagic Touch Haptic Device, and Kinect for Windows.
Some of the best projects were presented during our Mind Bytes Symposium, in the Technical Demos sessions.
