    The following are some of the testimonials from the participants:

    First of all, I’d like to thank you for hosting such a fun event! It was interesting to hear guest lectures and learn about how AR/VR is applied in different fields. Of course the fun part was the opportunity to meet new people and work on the virtual tour project together. Even as a senior, I got to discover new aspects of ICU and it was interesting to learn the perspectives of foreign students and how they see the campus differently. – Nino

    This Hakathon equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to create a VR tour. The invited speakers were experts in this field who shared with us about VR in various aspects. We were also given the opportunity to work with our groups to have hands-on experience in creating VR photos and stitch them together to create a Campus VR Project for ICU. Definitely a great learning experience for me. – Janice Tan
