Centivizer Inc. (www.centivizer.com) – a University of Toronto spinoff company – is hosting a hackathon to design and develop applications for our Centivizer platform. Centivizer is a wireless network of modules that work together to solve the problem of physical and cognitive inactivity in people that are aging using a reward-based system of activities.
SAMPLE Centivizer Module: A person is able to independently navigate through various worldwide scenes (e.g., gondola ride in Venice) using controls such as a wheel or a joystick and 360 degree videos.
DEMO VIDEO: To see a demo video of our Centivizer prototypes in action, visit: https://youtu.be/rXdaBxm_Tx8
