Esri at the Yale Climate Change Hackathon

Data

Most likely you will want to make use of "Feature Layers"
if in doubt, focus on search results of type "Layer->Feature Layer"

Living Atlas Open Data
American Communities Survey data Climate Models 2040-2059
GHCND Stations for 1981 - 2010
But you could also use CityEngine to import Open Street Map data and build a 3D city around it!

CityEngine [Content Generation]

The pioneering 3D City Design software used by urban planners and movie studios alike

Use City Engine to translate/Export Esri data services into Unity format.

Runtime SDK [Developer Tools]

Runtime SDK is used for building high performance location apps for mobile and desktop devices.

Learn more at developers.arcgis.com

AR and VR capabilities are currently in private beta (iOS and Android, with an older version for .NET Xamarin).
Sign up before the hackathon to get access to the SDK by emailing ArcGISRuntimeARVRBeta@esri.com., or we can send you an invitation at the hackathon.

Runtime Homepage Runtime AR/VR Beta (requires access - see above)

If you're a developer who wants to build AR/VR apps like the above, see this technical session from our 2018 Developer Summit, this 5 minute demo, and this video showing an app being built.

The app I showed during the opening talks is available in source code here (you will need to install the beta as described above).
