StatusBeta – Wearable Device Testing Platform

yosun — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 12:51:01 +0000

I extended to a testing platform, a website that might look like an app store but is really just a bunch of my own Glass hacks – with virtual tryouts.

And then I entered it in the Salesforce Million Dollar Hackathon… which was a bit haphazardly managed, such that they ended up giving a tie for first place and up-ing the first place prize to giving away two million dollar prizes – however, I did not win. (I would probably not be feeling glum enough to document my hacks, if that happened.)

gyroFIRE Platform – Scoble @ TechCrunch

Scoble invited me to show off some of my Glass Hacks as the wildcard entry with a 1 in 6 chance of winning $10k in his Glass event during TechCrunch – since many of them use the gyroscope, I tried expanding to a startup-ish, generalizing a natural user interface platform based on the gyroscope – along with some other sensors, such as camera (CV), light sensor, connectivity.

The app demo’s I showed were:

Creativity – gyroSculpt
Data – Weather Glass
Shop – StyleZapper
Build – Minecraft for Glass (basically, gyroFIRE Create mode)
3D Angry Birds for Glass (really, just launching things that bounce around)

Weather Glass

yosun — Sun, 08 Sep 2013 11:03:38 +0000

For TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon, I worked on two Glass apps – one of them is Weather Glass, which uses the Weather Underground API’s network of webcam’s to let you see the weather at a distance, depending on which weather beacon you “shoot”.

It’s omniscience of a sort. You can see weather beacons as far as 50 miles away, to see what the weather is like in San Rafael or Sonoma or something. Or, just the weather in the Mission.

Basically, gyroFIRE platform – tap to fire (action) to see the corresponding webcam view at that beacon.

Download from a site I dumped most of my Glass hacks at – StatusBeta.com – here.

My co-hack partner was a ditzy Unity frontend only person, so he just did the form-based UX design, but he hasn’t done that many projects so he actually described it on his linkedin as well.
