Welcome to CERN openlab Oracle collaboration for the HackZurich 2018 repository. If you are reading this probably it means that you have accepted our challenge, horaaay! In this repository you will find some information that can help you to develop your application. As it was explained during the workshop our challenge consist in building a virtual guest book for the CERN Open Days. In 2013, CERN opened its doors to the public in the CERN Open Days 2013. In this repository you can find the data-sources used in the CERN Open Days app:
Probably visit-points is going to be the most interesting datasource for you. It contains all the information, like coordinates, description, pictures, about the different visit points at CERN, like the ATLAS exhibition point
In the database folder you will find the json dump of the database used in the 2013 app. For instance you can find information about the lectures that were held during the event.
shuttle-buses will give you the bus stops coordinates, the schedule of the shuttles and the maps (in pdf format) of the two CERN sites, Meyrin and Prevessin.
sites-info contains other useful information like the coordinates of all the buildings and the always good to know where is the closest toilet please!!!
Last, but not least, in the logo folder you will find a selection of CERN logos.
In this link you will find some recordings of the CERN Data Centre. Also it can be very interesting for your application some ambient music resulting from the sonification of a LHC dipole magnet. Other examples of sonification can be found here
Although you can explore the full collection of CERN multimedia we strongly recommend you to use this one. Here you have a very nice selection of images, videos and animations that can improve the user experience of your application.
CERN maintains its own Geographic Information System. It displays useful geographic data and allowing its users to search for buildings, rooms and locations at CERN. A mobile application also exists.
Wonder how the data produced by 600 million collisions is processed? Have a look here
These collection of pictures can be very useful if you think about adding some VR functionality to your app:
