The Challenge
Within 24 hours, you and your teammates will create a game whose components will include a brain machine interface!
The components can be: control of the game, feedback, level of difficulty or more. The game can be digital or physical, and can be supported by a combination of technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), Microcontrollers and Robots.
Criteria For Judging:
To pick the winning team, the judges will ask themselves the following questions:
-
Innovation: How innovative is the technology or idea?
-
Neurological components: How much does the game use Neurological signals for different components (e.g., control of the game, feedback, level of difficulty or more)
-
Prototype: How ready is the product for use?
-
Game Quality: How good is the game? Criteria: engagement, flexibility, storyline, , suspense and more...
-
Pitch Deck: Quality of presentation.
-
Bonus: Judge’s discretion for “additional value” (for example, if the game is also relevant for a topic you find important, such as rehabilitation, diagnosis, entrepreneurship, etc.)
