In preparation of the 2nd Brussels VRhackathon, Be.VR organizes a training for VR tech newbies. The goal here is to provide adequate directions in order to create a prototype that would be technically & conceptually viable. The whole training will be divided in 2 parts :
– 1 on the basic VR technical side (4 courses in September)
– 1 on the VR creative (team) side (2 courses in October).
In order to guarantee quality, attendance will be (strictly) limited to 10 seats (for at least the first 4 trainings)– this is a requirement from tutors. As demand is strong, there might be selection required – based on the following:
– first registered / first served (mainly, but as well based on the following points…)
– profile type of the motivated learner (Pro/ Hobby Dev, Art Designer, Hardware, data driven profile…) – this is in order to create a group dynamic
– participation to the Brussels October VRHackathon (you need to purchase your tickets)
– total number of workshops taken (the more you take, the more chances you get accepted for the program…)
