Students' Hackathons in Serious Gaming & VR
Students are fresh, bright, creative, and might see challenges from a different perspective. They are an important part of tomorrow’s workforce and the talents we aim to attract. At Roche, we focus on a close collaboration with academia and within this scope, we were delighted to participate in two projects with the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU).
The project weeks from the IT department of HSLU in September comprised of two kinds of Hackathons in the area of Serious Gaming and Virtual Reality (VR).
Serious Gaming
For the project week in Serious Gaming our team from Global Customer Support challenged the young talents to develop a gamified approach for one of our devices. How can training be more interactive, fun but also educational? The students’ approaches ranged from virtual Cat-Games, to simulating a doctor’s environment up to the classic board game. We were stunned by the students’ creativity, dedication and passion.
