 ==== Technical Information ====
-Our code is on Github, both the [[https://github.com/sauterl/glamhack2018-public|Frontend]] and the [[https://github.com/ppanopticon/virtual-exhibition-manager|Backend]] and will be made public on sunday.
+Our code is on Github, both the [[https://github.com/dbisUnibas/virtual-exhibition-presenter|Frontend]] and the [[https://github.com/dbisUnibas/virtual-exhibition-manager|Backend]].
 We are using [[https://unity3d.com|Unity]] with the [[https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/steamvr-plugin-32647|SteamVR Plugin]] to deploy on the [[https://www.vive.com/eu/|HTC Vive]]. This combination means we had to use combinations of C# Scripting (We recommend the excellent [[https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/ | Rider Editor]]), design using the Unity Editor, custom modifications to the SteamVR plugin, do 3d model imports using FastObjImporter and other fun stuff.
 Our backend is written in [[http://openjdk.java.net|Java]] and uses [[https://www.mongodb.com|MongoDB]].
+For the style transfer images, we used a open source python code which is available on [[https://github.com/anishathalye/neural-style|Github]].
