IOT LA: Intel IOT Roadshow 2015 recap

A couple of months have passed since the Intel IOT Roadshow took place in Los Angeles. This past week we gathered with other IOT enthusiast at the IOT LA event hosted at Kluge. Two of the Intel winners presented their projects.

First up was Neeraja Ganesan and Colin McCabe with Sundi.al, a smart alarm clock powered by Intel Edison. The team integrated Google Calendar, Blumix, a button, a temperature sensor and a servo motor attached to a cowbell. The alarm clock used an RGB LDC display to show three statuses: red indicated you are less than hour away from your next meeting, yellow meant that you are within an hour and green is the state for relaxation as there are no upcoming meetings. The idea aims to provide a visual status on your schedule and alert you of any upcoming meeting without having to pull out your phone and check your calendar. With the use of Blumix the data from the temperature sensor was captured and sent to the cloud. The sensor is meant to be placed where the sun will reach it during the morning hours, if the sensor goes above a specific temperature its understood it is time to wake up and the cowbell will be triggered. In addition Blumix allows for SMS notifications; an alert will be sent to your phone.

Tamara Gagliardi showcased the Smart Safety Holster, an Inel Edison IOT wearable. The Intel Edison board is connected to a hall sensor, two LEDs used for status reports, a button and a GPS sensor. With the recent police shootings and videos of police activity on social media the Smart Safety Holster idea was born. The device can provide insightful data to enhance trainings, also provide transparency on law enforcement activity and criminal data across the city. The holster will indicate the precise location of where a gun was removed from its holster. FireBase, a cloud solution, is used to store and analyze the data which can then be used to plot the locations on a dashboard in real time. Future integration includes linking the holster with body cams and dash cams providing not only an indicator of when the footage should be reviewed but also live stream it when a gun is pull from its holster.

The evening concluded with Ajay Mungara from Intel providing more insight regarding Intel’s initiative in the IOT hackathons worldwide. He shared other projects that came out of similar events such as a smart health tracker that would use your plant’s health as the motivator to keep you in shape. Not meeting your health activity goals resulted in your plant not being watered. Another idea used a flow meter, usually implemented to track the flow of water, to teach students how to play the flute through the track of air being released.

Overview of the Intel IoT Roadshow Los Angeles

Author: Tamara G

Santa Monica (CA) - This past weekend the Intel IoT roadshow took place in Cross Campus in Santa Monica. Los Angeles was the last stop on a series of events that Intel organized around the world. The roadshow looks to motivate people of all ages to get into the maker community and develop product utilizing their Intel Edison chip.

The Intel Edison aids those looking to prototype IoT artifacts in a quick seamless fashion. As explained on the Intel product page “the Intel Edison solution was designed specifically for the creators of these devices - emerging entrepreneurs eager to invent the future.” Intel partnered with BemyApp to organize an event full of creativity having the Intel Edison as the center of attention.

Doors opened on Saturday July 11th at which time attendees were given a number. The first 100 attendees received the Grove Starter Kit plus along with the Intel Edison chip. This on its own lured lots of curious creative minds that wanted to get their hands on new IoT technology.

After Intel staff gave an overview of the steps needed to get the board up and running it was time to unbox the extension board and explore the beauty of the Edison chip. Groups were formed and teams started working on their prototypes. Doors closed at midnight on Saturday and reopened at 9 am on Sunday. By 2 pm the teams were instructed to stop coding and make their submissions.

Each team had about 3 minutes to showcase their idea, the demo table was enabled with video which allowed the audience could see a live demo.

Highlights

- The Intel staff support: What added value to the Intel IoT roadshow was having the Intel staff onsite ready to help the attendees. They were friendly, approachable and most importantly very knowledgeable on their product as most of them helped develop it. I can recall in two opportunities that without the Intel staff it would have been very hard to identify what action was needed to overcome our obstacle.

- Multiple challenges throughout the event: The roadshow was designed so even those that might not receive a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place prize can still win goodies. Some Twitter challenges had as a prize a smart watch, a bag with electronics, IoT branded mugs, headsets and portable power supply, amongst others.

- Friendly community of hackers: It was refreshing to see that teams bounced ideas off each other, provided feedback on what the other team could do to improve their prototype. Conversations sparked throughout the two days, which gave room to building long lasting relationships.
