FeelVision
https://devpost.com/software/feelvision
FeelVision is a navigation tool built for the blind, who would normally rely on using white canes to walk. Using Leap Motion IR cameras and Pebble Smartwatch haptic feedback, we introduce a cane-free navigation environment while giving the blind ability to recognize what is in front of them through computer vision technology.
This hackathon project won "Best Use of IBM Bluemix" at PennApps XII.
Software Used:
Pebble Smartwatchfor haptic feedbackLeap Motionfor infrared camerasIBM Bluemixfor object detection and classificationPythonfor scripting

https://devpost.com/software/linux-driver-for-myo-armband
We found out that the Myo Armband did not have native Linux support - so we decided to provide it!
We reverse engineered the bluetooth protocol of the armband to provide a shared C library, libmyolinux, which allows the raw packet data to be interpreted and displayed to the user.
This project won the Grand Prize at HackUMBC Fall 2014.
