Time to Hit the Bottle Gourd -- now in 3D

Sometimes, you would be forgiven for thinking that testing your apps' user interface is not the most fun bit of the whole process of creation. But as a matter of fact, it is, especially if you use interesting tools that help with the heavy lifting and have a freaky domain specific language that makes it straightforward to specify and automate your test cases.

Roland Gröpmair (http://twitter.com/roland9), a regular face at Xcake, will present to us his latest investigations in this area, as part of his talk iOS and Android Test Automation with Calaba.sh (http://calaba.sh).

Next up, Gleb Lebedev (https://twitter.com/glebonsoftware), organizer of 3DcampDublin (https://www.meetup.com/3DcampDublin/), will do a presentation on current 3D hardware devices, such as Google Cardboard (https://cardboard.withgoogle.com/), Durovis Dive (http://www.durovis.com/index.html) and Samsung Gear VR (http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/gearvr/), as well as upcoming devices like the Noon VR (http://noonvr.com/en). He'll also have a short demo of how to use the Cardboard API with a simple app.

The usual after-event travel to O'Neills (http://www.oneillsdublin.com/) will occur for gossiping and rumour-mongering.
