This calendar week MediaTek announced 5 awards for academy pupil teams who developed wearables together with Internet of Things inventions. The awards ceremony was a culmination of ITRI MobileHeroes, a multi-month production evolution tournament inwards Taiwan sponsored yesteryear MediaTek. The companionship provided the MediaTek LinkIt ONE platform together with preparation to all 24 participating teams inwards the Wearables together with Internet of Things category.
“MediaTek is proud to assist the side yesteryear side generation of developers who continually demonstrate the science together with talent they tin offering the IoT industry,” said Marc Naddell, Vice President of MediaTek Labs. “This year’s entries are outstanding together with creatively purpose Internet of Things technology scientific discipline to advance dissimilar aspects of today’s society.”
The next pupil inventions, built on the MediaTek LinkIt ONE platform, received prizes inwards the Internet of Things together with Wearables track:
- Champion prize: LinkIt UAV Security Surveillance Cloud Computing Platform
Addressing concerns over widespread consumer drone use, LinkIt ONE powers this product’s mightiness to practise drone “no-fly” zones equally good equally rails together with remotely think lost drones.
- Second prize: Easy Sous-Vide
Sous-vide is a cooking method that heats nutrient inwards a H2O lavatory at a regulated temperature. Long seen equally a complex together with expensive technique, the winning squad simplifies this with LinkIt ONE yesteryear allowing users to pick out a recipe on a smartphone that automatically sets the heating bend on the device. Users tin together with therefore percentage their recipes on social networks via Easy Sous-Vide.
- Third prize: LINKTEAM
More than 10 thou cyclists are involved inwards traffic accidents each year, with to a greater extent than than sixty per centum of these caused yesteryear the cyclist getting lost. The “LINKTEAM” is a wearable organisation that allows cyclist teams to communicate directions together with locations with each other, preventing such accidents.
- Best Campus Elite Prize: OceanAgent
The OceanAgent is a robotic fish that helps scientists collect underwater data. LinkIt ONE, inwards the robot, collects the ocean’s environmental data, such equally pressure level together with temperature, together with therefore converts the information into communications dorsum to oceanographers. Ocean Agent improves the cost, latency together with transmission rates of underwater IoT activities, eliminating the necessitate for high-cost submarine cables.
- Special Judge Prize: Re-Talk
Re-Talk is a linguistic communication recognition organisation with the mightiness to assist non-verbal people communicate. With customized Bluetooth® low-energy data-gathering gloves, the organisation built on LinkIt ONE collects gestures together with translates them into text together with spoken give-and-take for Bluetooth Smart Ready devices. Through its sponsorship of MobileHeroes, MediaTek helped recruit together with develop participants, encouraging immature developers to realize their ideas on the LinkIt evolution platform for IoT together with wearables. In addition, the companionship provided 5 experienced employees equally judges.
Based to a greater extent than or less MediaTek MT2502 (Aster), the world’s smallest commercial System-on-Chip (SoC) for wearables, the MediaTek LinkIt ONE evolution platform enables developers to blueprint together with paradigm wearables together with IoT devices, using hardware together with an API, like to those offered for Arduino boards. MediaTek sponsored 3 MobileHeroes tracks: IoT together with Wearables; the Antenna track, to assist recruit interns together with boost awareness of the company; together with the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) rails for big information analysis.
