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.)

Other than listing the apps, with an auto-manifest-parse for permissions, the site checks if the user has Glass or not before letting them download the app. Also, there are a few browser-based tryout’s and a link to the new Launchy for apps that I was too lazy to re-build to have a voice trigger.

Since this site was basically a two weekend hack, I also adapted it for the Salesforce Million Dollar hackathon. Of course, I didn’t win.

Along the same lines of StyleZapper (or gyroFIRE or Glass Shootout with blocks ordered cylindrically around you instead of random placement)…

This was a hack created for my talk at the SF Music Tech keynote on October 2 – Musical Instruments, inspired by Google Glass.

Enter a search term or select from color swatches via Shutterstock API. Swipe to browse through images to add to your lightbox. Features semantic image search, finding similar images by pinching in on an image (pinch out to go back). Touch a candidate lightbox image and drag to your pasteboard. Go to lightbox mode to place your image on the real surface it might actually go in! Use filters from ImageShack to enhance your photos. yfrog tweet your shot when ready!

All images backed up to dropbox!

(Begin by finding the real world surface you want to place your image comp in, then place your phone parallel to it and capture the green crosshair.)

 

PHD4 15 bitcoins first place!
