# Dec'18 Challenges

## D**ecember 2018 Thought Starters** <a href="#june-2-3-thought-starters" id="june-2-3-thought-starters"></a>

### **Theme**: Re-imagining Music Consumption and Discovery

*If you have an idea for a new Alexa skill, AR/VR immersive experience, music gamification app or Twitch extension, fan engagement tool, etc. and are in need of content or artists to experiment with, this Hackathon is perfect for you. Our category challenges are listed below but all ideas you have at the intersection of music and tech are fair game!* &#x20;

1. **UMG Challenge:** Re-imagine ways of using emerging tech to change the music consumption & discovery process for fans (e.g. voice discovery, web3 ethereum applications in music)
2. [**Verizon 5G Challenge**](https://cloudinary.gitbook.io/cil-hackathon-guide/v/capitol360-december-2018-hacktathon-guide/capitol360-innovation-center-hackathon-guide/dec18-umg-challenges/challenge-and-prizes/verizon-5g-challenge)**:** Design and develop an immersive music experience that can only exist with 5G. Over the course of the weekend, your team will be challenged to push the boundaries of immersive music experiences. Consider the music video of the future and unique ways to integrate spatialized audio and volumetric video motion capture into music experiences. At the end of the weekend, your team should develop a proof of concept prototype that streams hi-res graphics, spatial audio, volumetric video capture, and motion-capture driven animations over the 5G network.&#x20;
3. **Twitch Game Jam:** Design and develop a gaming experience or Twitch extension at the intersection of music and augmented reality (use of Spotify API preferred)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cloudinary.gitbook.io/cil-hackathon-guide/capitol360-november-2019-hackathon-guide/capitol360-innovation-center-hackathon-guide/dec18-umg-challenges.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
