(This is an archive blog post) Watch videos on this blog Introducing Trigger, the one-of-the-kind event where students can experience the future technology. We started with DY Patil ACS college in Pimpri and attracted 150+ students — and that too without marketing. When we started this blog (formerly Tengible), we had the sole purpose to reach the upcoming technologies and startups to the people. We are sticking to it, but we know that the ‘experience’ creates more lasting impact than just reading about it. Plus when you experience something, it stimulates your mind to create something creative from it and what’s better than a student’s mind,right!. So we’re trying to Trigger this young and ambitious minds who are future of this world. A trigger to explore them to the new world of possibilities and creativity using Technology. Where the new ideas will be born and some can even change the world, who knows! Currently, we’re exhibiting VR, AR and IoT-based consumer-focused products and will be targeting more colleges in coming weeks. If you’re a startup or company working in these sectors and have a working consumer or developed product, contact us immediately at contact@reachoout.com. Arjun had made the video of the event (above) and below are some pics taken from the event. We also kept a gaming competition for a more interactive environment and 75% students experienced it. In the feedback system, we provided them — 95% students want to know and experience new tech, 90% want to attend a workshop and our favorite — 100% students rated us ‘Great’for the event. Thanks to DY Patil ACS college and the faculties for the help and last but the best — our team members (why this, if you’re a startup you’ll understand this). What is this Trigger Event? According to a research report, the AR and VR market is expected to be worth $117.40 bn worldwide by 2022. Closer home in India, this market will grow by 55% by 2021. This is an indicator of the opportunities India has to explore and innovate in this field. This is precisely why the ‘Trigger Event’ was created. To let young minds get a hands-on experience of these technologies, which will inspire them to explore and innovate in this field. They will also be conducting a VR gaming competition, where the winner takes away a VR box worth ₹ 1000 and a remote controller. The charges for the game are ₹ 30 per entry. They have already served 950+ students from 4 colleges. And according to the feedback received, 99.99% students liked the event and 85% wanted to develop their own app on these amazing technologies. Omkar from UnplugTech said, “More workshops are to be organized in the future, which will include complete hands-on on the development of an app on VR and AR as well.” Here is a glimpse of what they have already done in different institutes across Pune city. So, are you onboard? Visit the Trigger booth at COEP’s Mindspark 2016 from 23rd to 25th September between 9 am and 4 pm. The booth is located below the bridge.
