MergeVR MoonJam2017 @ Cogswell College

University of Silicon Valley

Event Overview
Merge VR will be hosting a game jam focused on their recently released product, Merge Cube, which allows you to hold a hologram in your hand. Also available for development will be Moonshot, their universal mobile motion controller for creating engaging experiences in virtual reality.
Moonjam is like a game jam, but focused on creating experiences in virtual reality and augmented reality. This isn’t a contest or an all-night hackathon. It’s a fun collaborative space where creative people get together to make mind-blowing VR and AR experiences. Attendees will be the first in the world to use this exciting new tech, and be allowed to take home a set of Merge Goggles and a Merge Cube. Meet new people, learn new things, and be a part of the booming VR scene!
We will also be awarding Vuforia Classic Licenses to the top 3 games ($1500 value), so this is a great chance to develop something and get your vuforia license paid for!

FAQs
What computer do I use?
Bring your own computer! Load up your favorite game engines and be ready to roll! We'll have iPhone's with us so if you plan to develop on iOS make sure to bring a Mac!
Do I have to focus on mobile?
Yes! Bring your own development device too! But just in case, we’ll have limited mobile devices for you to borrow.
Can I use the controller or do I have to use the cube?
Merge VR will supply a Moonshot and Merge Cube SDK, but you should bring any other code, prefabs, and other game materials you might need.
I want to participate but I don't have a team, can you help?
If you don’t have enough people to make up a team, let us know and we’ll help you find your missing skill sets! There will be several opportunities to meet other developers and artists and form your team, and we're happy to help you out!
Where do I park?  
Cogswell has parking available at the building.
