45 IoT solutions created at Intel Roadshow

BENGALURU: Forty-five IoT solutions were created using the Intel IoT Developer kits at the recently concluded two-day Internet of Things (IoT) roadshow in Bengaluru.

Around 153 makers and pro-makers came together at this 24 hour hackathon to build IoT enabled solutions.

The winner, DriveAlert, created a smart IoT enabled solution to prevent mishaps due to drowsy driving/ flying and enhancing driver efficiency using their driving data. The solution not only helps detect drowsy driving but also improves driver’s efficiency by using the captured data.

The device will capture behavior patterns of the driver and his interaction with the components of the vehicle. This gathered data will be then used to give the driver a feedback, in turn improving his efficiency.

Other notable projects that made it to the top were SipUp and Evolve followed by IOT Pet Feeder , Enigma - Intel-i-Drone and Intelligent Door/Box .

Narendra Bhandari - Director, APJ, Intel Software and Services Group - Developer Relations Division, said, “ IoT is a huge opportunity and software plays a key role as a catalyst in enabling smarter solutions. The Intel IoT Roadshow provides young and enthusiastic makers and hobbyists with a platform to demonstrate their creativity using Intel® Edison boards.”

Intel is hosting 20 Intel IoT Roadshows for maker communities in cities across US, Europe, South America and Asia. This two-day hackathon is open to all including makers, IoT startups, developers, students and hardware novices.
