There is currently a grave deficit of audio-based adaptive color displays. With new technology such as Hue looking to help users express themselves in the somewhat untouched realm of illumination, we seek to be their shining light.
Our application allows the user to anonymously place sounds at their location, allowing people who walk by that area to listen to these sounds. We see it as a way to enable homegrown artistic endeavor, free from the narcissism of ‘social media.’ We believe that in the digital age, it is critical to the human experience that there remain places free of ‘curation,’ in which intimate connections with passing strangers are allowed to retain their enduring mystery, and in which some information isn’t made universally accessible.

It’s a Chrome extension that tracks the time people spend on different categories of the website and presents this information to users in various forms including pie graph with daily statistics, bubble graph with weekly statistics etc. Also, it allows users to set limits for the time they spend on certain categories. When the limit is reached, the extension automatically blocks websites of this specific category. Furthermore, it allows users to enter distraction-free mode, where the extension blocks time-consuming website, such as social networks. So, it solves one of the biggest college students’ problem, allowing them to spend time on the web more productively.
Users who browse through Reddit, Google, Wikipedia, news articles, Bing, and YouTube want information quickly and easily. With the SnappyLink Chrome extension, users may preview every article, Google link, YouTube video, and Reddit post by hovering their mouse over the link. The Chrome extension pops a mini browser within the space that displays a preview of the link, so that users can see whether the information is useful to them or not. Users don’t want to waste time clicking links to read content from every page while going back and forth, back and forth. Instead, they want speed and efficiency to see the content that they need to find. The target market are users of all ages. Every user wants to see his or her information as fast as possible especially the growing demographic of high school and college students who own personal laptops. We exploit the abundant users of data connecting websites like Google, Wikipedia, and YouTube, and provide a Chrome extension that eases and speeds the processing of information on the web.
Untitled Mixtapes is a python-backed web application that generates mixtape playlists, based on a given track, that actually make sense.
Simply putting similar songs together is something that works for a plain playlist, but when you create a mixtape, there’s some subjectivity involved in knowing how to pick which songs go in which order. We created a product that solves this subjective problem objectively.
Untitled Mixtapes hand picks beginning and ending songs specifically, and generates the entire middle sequence based on related artists, the energy level from the user-provided track, and some settings that can be manipulated by the user, like number of tracks and diversity in genres.
The algorithm behind Untitled Mixtapes builds the mixtape alternating between faster and slower songs around the original track’s energy level, moving from songs more similar to the original artist towards songs in further away genres. This creates a fresh experience for the listener and a chance to hear tracks in genres they had previously never given a chance. They can decide how diverse they want their mixtape to be.
We use last.fm’s API for related artists and EchoNest’s API to find track titles from related artists, and detailed track information afterwards. The detailed information we receive from this API is the core behind the track selection algorithm. Finally, we use Spotify’s API to publish the final playlist.
The age old problem of when your friends don’t pay you for gas when you drive them places. Gosh, guys. Stop doing that.

AJAT framework provides (or eventually will provide) a flexible way to create, organize and manage social role playing games (such as human vs. zombies). The main goal of AJAT is to encourage individuals/groups to create new exciting role playing games, or to modify existing ones, easily add players, and create all sorts of interactive events and challenges by incorporating Google Geolocation API. As a player, you will have a mobile app that allows you to keep track of your active games/join new ones, location activated game events and personal stats. As an administrator, you will have (again, eventually) a large variety of options to manage and modify your own game to fit specific preferences of your player base. The AJAT framework works across all three major operating systems, and will also provide a web-based interface as well.
Baskets.io visualizes important spheres of your life using D3.js
We create one ‘basket’ visualization for each aspect of your life you would like to monitor (eg. Academic, Financial, Sleep, Health, etc).
Each basket contains nodes that correspond to important events in that sphere of your life. A large red node would depict a big purchase in your financial sphere while a small purple node would depict a power nap in your sleep schedule sphere.
We think this product could be used for business productivity tracking, personal management… really anything that needs to be easily and playfully tracked!

Ever set up an alarm in the morning only to find yourself snoozing all the time and leaving yourself an unknown amount of time to get ready for class or work?
General Chombie is the ultimate Pebble application that keeps you on track with your schedule. We break your morning routine down and set a timer for each individual task.
For example, wake up at 6am and the first task is to shower. Your watch wakes you up and tells you your first task is to shower and starts the timer for 10 minutes to get in and out. As soon as your 10 minutes is up it moves onto the next task. You now have 2 minutes to brush your teeth… etc.
Our goal is to help business professionals, students, and anyone with a routine to make sure they are on schedule to make sure they can get to the important things in their day.

Fuel leverages key aspects of human nature – the desire to set challenges for oneself. But, we are not like the millions of other challenge apps are there because we’ve made a challenge app that makes sure that you never fail – that you never run out of fuel.
When you make a challenge, you’re motivated, you know exactly why you’re doing what you’re doing. Over the course of your challenge, you may want to give up because you’ve forgotten or can’t feel what made you start. We solve that.
Fuel lets you save what inspired you to make your challenge as messages, videos, and images to your later self that can recall on them when he or she maybe low on inspiration – or as we like to say, low on fuel.
We’ve made a challenge app that actually works.
