Come join us as we reimagine the world of Sherlock Holmes! We're pleased to partner with the Columbia University Digital Storytelling Lab (http://digitalstorytellinglab.com), IBM and the Made in NY Media Center to present a day long Sherlock Hack that mixes storytelling, the Internet of Things & Artificial Intelligence. Together we'll explore how to harness various Watson APIs and the Bluemix platform to create a number of enchanted objects.

This hack is the first in a series of events that will help to inform a special presentation during the New York Film Festival on Oct 1st & 2nd. Work done within the hacks and meetups will become part of a massive connected crime scene that transforms Lincoln Center into a collaborative story and play space.
