RSVP & JOIN THE EXCITEMENT
24 HOURS OF COOL ON SEPTEMBER 5 AND 6!

Have an idea for a Kinect App? Make it happen at the Amsterdam Kinect Hackathon, September 5-6 at the Pakhuis de Zwijger.

We’d love to see developers, UI/UX designers gamers, hackers, entrepreneurs, marketers, futurists and other dreamers

What’s in it for me?

Create something cool - Dream it and build it

Build an experience (http://www.daretodifr.com/tag/experience/), game, business app or whatever you can dream up with the new Kinect. There’s plenty of Kinect gear plus an advanced SDK – so you can use gestures (http://www.daretodifr.com/tag/gestures/), body tracking and voice.

Play with the newest gear

There will be plenty of Kinect gear with the latest experimental technology (http://www.daretodifr.com/tag/technology/). There will be firmware that can turn a sensor into a near-field device, which can be used as close as 10cm away.

Compete for prizes, fame and glory

Show off your Kinect skills. Meet peers from around Europe. You are your team can compete prizes, cash, fame and glory.

Work with talented hackers, awesome creatives and top Microsoft (http://www.daretodifr.com/tag/microsoft/) developers

They can answer your questions and help you build your app. Learn from these talents. Code with the team that built the K4W platform!

It’s a cool event in Amsterdam

Expect a cool event with great food and drinks. Meet peers from around Europe and grow your professional network. And remember since it’s Amsterdam you can always expect the unexpected.
