Augmented Reality
The tek recon app uses location AR to show the locations of the flags and proximity to the other players. It uses Vuforia image recognition to confirm finding of the flags. The mobile app also connects with the blaster and tracks the number of NRG rounds within the physical gun.
The App was created by www.ad-dispatch.com. The mobile App is available on Android and IOS. The toy is available at Walmart, Toys R Us, Target, Sears and more.

Thalmic Labs’ first product, the Myo armband, is a gesture-control device that bridges the gap between humans and machines. While measuring the electrical signals in forearm muscles, the device provides the user a more seamless interaction with the digital technologies they encounter in their everyday lives.
Myo has a great number of use cases and, through open-source code, can be configured to an endless number of devices through third-party developer applications. In the future, the armband user will be able to browse the internet, play video games, edit videos, and create music just by using simple gestures and motions with his or her hands.
Thalmic Labs was co-founded by Stephen Lake, Aaron Grant and Matthew Bailey. The Myo armband is available for preorder today: https://www.thalmic.com/en/myo/preorder/

DrumPants is a wearable controller platform for controlling music, games and mobile apps with a simple tap on your body.
By placing the controller on the body we’re making technology more intuitive: focus on the interaction and experience instead of staring at your screen.
Our wearable sensors “drumpads” can be worn under any clothing, not just pants. Our foot pedals go into any sized shoe. Or use them another way!
The hardware has over 100 built-in sounds, from drums to piano to strings, but this is just our starting point.
Our app, for iOS/Android/Google Glass/Mac/Windows, creates the platform so anyone can control any phone/tablet/laptop with our wearable controller. So, besides controlling over 300 music apps on the App store alone, imagine controlling slideshows, Pandora, or--as teams of Berkley students did at this year's GDC Intel Hackathon--create physical running and sword fighting games played with our controllers.
Mighty Cast's NEX Band is a smart, modular charm bracelet for gaming on your wrist. The NEX Band lets you interact with all your passions, from friends to music to gaming to movies to sports - and so much more. The wristband works with specially designed, collectible "Mod" charms that are physical objects connected to the cloud. Mods take virtual, mobile experiences to the real world and back again, giving wearers objects to share, play, and interact with in the physical space.
Mighty Cast was co-founded by Adam Adelman and Belinda Takahashi. The NEX Band is available for preorder today:

What if you could see the flow of electricity? LightUp is a learning platform that helps kids understand the increasingly technological world around them. It combines an educational toy (modular electronic blocks) with an augmented reality mobile app that teaches kids about electronics and coding. The LightUp app uses AR to visualize normally invisible phenomena (like current flow) and for the first time ever provide just-in-time interactive feedback right on top of projects built by kids. For example, a kid’s very first circuit might not work because it’s not connected in a loop, while an advanced circuit might fail because an input is connected to the wrong microcontroller pin. The LightUp app recognizes each circuit with ease, and provides just the right feedback needed to get things up and running.
With LightUp, a 12-year-old can go all the way from building their first circuit to eventually creating their own internet-connected device, like Nest or FitBit. Our mission is to help kids go from being users of technology to the creators of tomorrow.

LightUp kits are available for purchase online at the Maker Shed, and the LightUp app is available for free download on the iOS App Store and Google Play.
Smart glasses optimized for augmented reality have opened the door for new cutting-edge applications in the enterprise that are enhancing the productivity and safety of “deskless” workers. By blending the real and digital worlds, augmented reality smart glasses allow workers to view critical information from a 3D transparent overlay directly in their field of view to assist them with the task at hand.
Leveraging Epson’s patented core technologies, the Moverio BT-200 offers an unparalleled binocular smart glasses experience optimized for augmented reality applications. Micro projectors located on each side of the eyeglasses project transparent overlays of digital content directly in the user’s field of view over the real-world environment. In addition, the Moverio BT-200 glasses contain sensors such as a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetic compass for head-motion tracking and hands-free navigation. A front-facing camera for video and image capture also detects real-world markers for augmented reality (AR) applications.
AR smart glasses can improve worker efficiency in vertical markets such as healthcare, logistics, field service, energy, manufacturing, education, retail and more. Developers such as APX Labs and Metaio are already working with Epson and enterprises to incorporate the Moverio BT-200 smart glasses “see-through” augmented reality technology to allow for use-cases such as retail and wholesale supply chain tracking, surgical training for doctors in the operating room, and remote field service support for complex repair assistance.
The Vuzix M100 is a complete Android based, wearable computing, display and communications system. It runs applications locally or in the cloud with WiFi and Bluetooth capability. 1080p camera, voice, gesture recognition as well as remote control capabilities. Video shows how the Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses will be used for field service applications developed by SAP and other software vendors.

The Nymi is a wristband that authenticates a user’s identity through their electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a biometric unique to all users. The Nymi’s ECG recognition algorithms observe the shape of the ECG waveform, extracting unique and consistent features that are a result of a user’s physiology.
The goal of the Nymi is to provide secure, persistent identity. That means the Nymi can replace passwords, PINs, and keys, and also enables a hyper-personalized experience (everything from retail to hospitality).
Our video shows a glimpse of the future with the Nymi.
The Structure Sensor is the first 3D sensor for mobile devices. It is made by Occipital, creators of 360 Panorama and Red Laser. More information about the Structure Sensor can be found at http://structure.io
