Zalando Engineering

JUNE 10, 2014

One of the most visible and successful projects outside Zalando was a project at last Hack Week that initially seemed just like a nice gadget. As a result of this “KINECT Virtual Dressing (for Xbox)” project, users could try-on Zalando's products using the sensor bar, called KINECT, which is a widely known extension for the Microsoft game console Xbox.

Business as usual? Re-inventing the Zalando shopping experience? Optimizing our backend and Logistics? Not this week! At least not exactly :-) Zalando’s second Hack Week has officially been kicked off. If you are wondering what the hack week is all about: It’s an event where Zalando Technology staff creates, innovates and participates to various projects and events which are not necessarily connected to their daily work.

When I was walking around in the Zalando offices searching for a Hack Week project to write about, I passed by a meeting room that instantly caught my attention. The door to the room had been left open and the team seemed to have gone out for lunch. I had actually already decided what to write about and wanted to visit the team that I had looked up in our Hack Week Wiki and interview them.
