Description
Get trained and create innovative applications using close-range hand and finger tracking, speech recognition, face analysis, and augmented reality!
What
Join us for a series of workshops and a hacking competition dedicated to Intel® Perceptual Computing SDK, work with other talented developers and advance the world of computing.
You can bring a fresh new idea or existing apps and code to the hackathon, but keep in mind that your prototype will be judged only on what you've built during the hack.
In order to help you develop great prototypes, we're organizing two workshops. These are designed to get you started with the technology, answer your questions and help you prepare for the hackathon. If you have an idea for a great app, bring it to the workshops - we'll review and help you submit it to the ongoing Perceptual Computing Challenge for a chance to win $100k. Deadline for submitting to the Challenge ends July 1st (updated), so this is your chance to get the skills and training you need to win.
Note: you must have attended at least one of the workshops to be able to compete in the hackathon. If you have relevant experience, please contact vera at bemyapp dot com.
