Think about the future. What do you see? Ignore domestic robots, let’s instead focus on the Future City.
 
We’re already seeing the rise of smart cities, from Barcelona to London to Nairobi and beyond.  IoT, VR, and AI have made massive strides in the past few years.  We know our lives are about to change: what we want to know is what those changes will look like.
 
Enter the IBC Hackfest hackathon: a chance for developers all over Northern Europe to help define the future.

We’re looking for hacks in the following areas:
●     Education: How does the rise of AR/VR change the classroom?  How does new multi-faceted content affect the classroom experience and how we can best incorporate it into our learning techniques?
●     Entertainment: What does the future living room look like (got your hoverboard hanging over your TV? Do you even have a TV?). How will you find and share the content you want?
●     Sports: What does the future of football viewing look like?  What new Audience engagement techniques can fans use to get into the game?  Will IoT and AI change the way we experience sports forever?
Judges will be announced in the coming weeks
