Frontier Interfaces Hackathon by TR*

Registration
Welcome! To join the event, please register below.
About Event

Join Frontier Interfaces Hackathon to explore new ways to interact with machines and build better interfaces involving brain waves, biosensing, or augmented reality. The event is open to engineers, designers, and business students, as we emphasize creative combinations of technologies that can find a practical use case in the real world.

The hackathon is organised by Thinkin' Rocks that hosts an applied engineering lab at Startup Sauna. The challenges will be revealed at the soft start of the hackathon. ​Only one person should register for the team. If you need to make any changes to your registration, please contact the organizers on Telegram at @foxivil. We are going to call you before the event to confirm your registration.
