frogNY Build-It Kinect Hack

 

In early January 2011, frogNY Build-It was invited to participate in a 7-week challenge to hack a Kinect. We initially submitted three ideas for peer-review but fell in love with this concept early on.

Build-It Hack-a-thon is on!

Live-blogging the TechCrunch Hackday, as we attempt to build a truly welcoming welcome mat.

2:00pm

And that concludes the TechCrunch Hackday! We successfully built a welcome mat that would welcome you with personal greetings based on your Foursquare and Twitter information, including empathizing with your emoticons, laughing out loud with you, asking about your activities and friends, and celebrating your badge wins with Price is Right music and blinking LEDs. An awesome time and a Build-It success!

Meet the Build-It Group

Hello!

We’re Build-It, a group of frogs interested in exploring convergent projects that map across the digital and physical worlds. We’re a mixed group of designers, IxDs, IDs, and developers who get together every so often to build things... for fun, to learn, and to explore the possibilities. We'll be posting about the things we're working on or thinking about.

Check out what we've been up to lately
