The hackathon will run from 15th – 17th January 2016 starting at 6pm, Microsoft Innovation Center, Co-Station, 5 Place Sainte Gudule, Brussels, Belgium. European tech developers, game programmers, UI/UX designers, artists, animators, storytellers, enthusiasts and professionals shall be attending. It will provide an exploratory environment where disruptive and creative ideas all based around VR are brought to life.
Tickets are fully sold out and VRFocus will be reporting on any further news relating to what happens at the hackathon.
