GöttingenAR Theater Hackathon

In our AR Theater Hackathon, we will tackle the problem of multilingualism in live events. Similar to the Babelfish, we want to enable individualized translation for the audience through AR glasses. The use case (individualized translation for viewers) can be found repeatedly (theater, opera, lectures, congresses, fairs, concerts) is becoming increasingly critical with the increasing degree of internationalization.

We are hosting our hybrid hackathon on December 11th – 12th, 2021, in person at Göttingen, Germany, and virtual for all how can not come in person.

We will have our event under 2G+ that means that you can participate in person at the event when you are fully vaccinated or recovered and you were tested negative for Corona in the last 24h.
