This a is a hackathon organized to innovate the way we use our cars today! We know that car keys can be avoided, and dashboard information can be projected onto windscreens, but new technologies can help improve or even change the interaction between the car user and the vehicle! There will be a powerful tool available on site, the smartphone; new forms of touchless interaction such as NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy, Visible Light Communication, image recognition or gesture recognition. To think and build on these new possibilities, SEAT and ALTRAN have sponsored this hackathon. This creative event includes tutorials on key technologies. A wide range of devices will be available for use, and a car will be provided to validate the solution that is developed. The idea is for participants to form multidisciplinary teams that can cover different areas of technology development in the automotive industry. Teams will be able to work over a weekend on the design and construction of their projects, and expert design, telecommunication, mechanical, electrical and computer engineers will be on hand to provide advice on any issues that may emerge. Projects will be evaluated by a jury in categories of best idea, best implementation, and best project voted by participants.
