Go Back IX 23July 2023 IX 23, the third iteration of IX, Sri Lanka’s first-ever online inter-university designathon, unfolded as a transformative event that harnessed the power of Extended Reality (XR) to reshape UI/UX solutions. This two-phase journey exemplified the fusion of creativity, technology, and global goals. In the initial phase, participants embarked on a mission to provide ingenious UI/UX solutions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the World Health Organization. What set this phase apart was the incorporation of Spatial UI concepts, inspired by Apple’s visionary Vision OS Design standards. This amalgamation of purpose-driven objectives and innovative design principles set the tone for the entire designathon. The culmination of IX 23 was the exhilarating final round, an intense 24-hour physical designathon that demanded participants to create XR-based spatial UI/UX solutions tailored to a specific scenario. This phase required not only technical prowess but also rapid ideation, collaboration, and adaptability. The zenith of the event materialized with participants showcasing their XR-based solutions to a panel of esteemed judges during the grand finale. The presentation of immersive solutions, finely tuned through the 24 hours of iteration and collaboration, captured the spirit of innovation and dedication that defined the event. Ultimately, the top three teams emerged triumphant, their exceptional ideas and designs recognized and celebrated. IX 23 not only marked a significant milestone in Sri Lanka’s technological and design landscape but also stood as a testament to the potential of XR in shaping the future of UI/UX solutions. As the first XR-based UI/UX designathon in Sri Lanka, IX 23 not only expanded horizons but also fostered a community of forward-thinking designers and creators who will undoubtedly leave their mark on the evolving world of technology and design.

Go Back AquathonMay 2023 Aquathon is a mini-hackathon that is newly presented by the IEEE Student Branch of the Informatics Institute of Technology with the aim of introducing undergraduate freshers to the world of hackathons. This mini-hackathon is exclusively for all Level 04 students at the Informatics Institute of Technology who are new to the technology field and eager to experience challenges. The insufficient idea about hackathons and less hackathon experience among fresh undergraduates are the major reasons for this new initiative. This is a six-hour mini-hackathon consisting of fifteen programming questions in order to deliver a vast idea about the structure of hackathons, where those questions are categorized into easy, medium, and hard type questions.
