MIT Hacking Arts 2015

This past weekend, IMVU provided our API for the 3rd annual Hacking Arts Hackathon at MIT in Boston. As described by the organization, "Hacking Arts is 24hr competition designed to push innovation in the arts and entertainment field.  It’s all about connecting creative and ambitious minds with the necessary tools to foster collaboration in the arts through technology."  It was very inspiring to see so many creative minds gathering together to make amazing projects in such a short period of time. 

We're very excited to announce that the winning team, Inside Art, utilized the IMVU API in their virtual reality art gallery experience.   Built for Android and Google Cardboard, Inside Art recreated 3 famous paintings, using IMVU avatars!  

A demo video of the project can be seen here:   https://youtu.be/FSie9Y6gQbg
