AEC Hackathon 1.2

AEC Hackathon 1.2 Seattle

It's a wrap, the AEC Hackathon 1.2 just concluded! Held in Seattle, Washington at University of Washington's Pacific Northwest Center for Construction Research and Education, it was a fun weekend of hacking to improve the built environment with plenty of high-tech and innovative solutions in the house.

As always, I was amazed at what the AEC Hackers made over the course of the weekend. In addition to the projects created, some of my more memorable highlights from the event include:

1. Drones for architecture and climbing a tree to get the drone for team Revit My Drone.


2. An awesome smart table touch screen device thanks to SmartUse.


3. Plenty of Virtual Reality for AEC represented including a full immersive VR setup thanks to the team at VRcade.



4. Multiple Web3D applications that used WebGL and more.

5. FTW (For The Win): seeing alumni that have started companies from projects started at past AEC Hackathons.

Augmented World Event 2017 There are not many event series I can say I have attended since day one but the Augmented World Expo , formerly the Augmented Reality Event, is one I can put in that category. This was the 8th annual event and no doubt it sure has come a long way since that first event I visited in 2010 . AWE is the largest event focused on the commercial side of AR, VR, and includes wearables. “AR and VR are bringing superpowers to the people and this year we are on a mission to highlight how to use these Superpowers to Change the World. This year’s conference and expo will showcase speakers, startups and organizations who are using AR & VR to drive economic growth, encourage empathy and collaboration, democratize healthcare and education, and promote sustainability in the world.” - event website This year was the best year for AWE in my opinion and their biggest ever.
