SPRINGER NATURE INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR UPCOMING HACKATHON.
Create new applications that help RESEARCHERS ADVANCE DISCOVERY, using
data VISUALIZATION AND MIXED REALITY.Join us at the Microsoft
Reactor in San Francisco from November 7-9 for an opportunity to
build new and innovative mixed reality applications using Springer
Nature’s data and research publications.
During the Hackathon, experts from Springer Nature will support teams
as they work with our unique datasets. From eBooks to journals, to
research tools like SN SciGraph or APIs
from Bookmetrix, Unsilo or Dimensions, we’ll provide you with
the metadata behind our products and services.
MOTIVATION
We believe the future holds many exciting possibilities for scientific
data, beyond the published page. Previous Springer Nature Hack Days
have explored challenges in discovery, research data and analytics.
This event in our series takes a more visual approach, inspired by
advances in Mixed Reality technologies. From creating virtual science
labs, to enhancing the reading experience, to interacting in real time
with charts and diagrams - help shape the way we use scientific data
by advancing discovery and improving research with applications that
have never been thought of before. Participants will have access to
billions of data points across scientific, technical, and medical
publishing with applications across disciplines.
PRIZES & PERKS
Members of the winning team will each receive a Windows Mixed Reality
Headset and an Amazon Gift Card. The winning team will also have the
chance to pitch their concept to Springer Nature and win a
partnership.
This event is completely free and will be held at the Microsoft
Reactor in downtown San Francisco. We will provide food, drinks and
snacks throughout the event. Participants will have access to HoloLens
and Windows Mixed Reality Headsets during the event, on loan from the
Reactor (quantities are limited); mentors will be available to guide
you in using these technologies. You’ll be able to network with
developers and designers, and data experts from Springer Nature and
other cooperating companies, and help shape the future of research
data visualization, in a multidisciplinary environment.
