Hackathon
31 developers, designers and creative minds from all over Germany have prototypically developed new VR/AR apps in 24 hours. Complex topics such as energy system transformation, modern mobility, sustainability and neighbourhood development were successfully presented as an immersive experience, simpler, more efficient and more interesting. Six highly interesting prototypes have been created, three of which have been awarded prizes.
