The #EUvsVirus hackathon is on everyone’s lips. Amongst the winners is the HoloCare Covid-19 initiative. Their mixed-reality solution convinced the jury with a holographic visualization technology for the healthcare sector.

Joint venture HoloCares applications were adapted for the Hackathon. The HoloCare Covid-19 initiative was developed on the basis of the Unity-3D platform.
