New Contest: Dare to Dream Different Challenge

Do you dream of a world where

  • thermostats use weather forecasts to minimize energy usage and to run your sprinkler system,
  • retail kiosks checkout items from inside your basket and send out-of-stock items home,
  • your refrigerator reorders groceries,
  • home appliances negotiate with each other to reduce power consumption, or
  • the treadmill monitors your health and provides advice from your doctor?

Would you like to make this fantasy world real by using the power of our easy to use developer tools?

Then head on over to https://www.dreamdifferencecontest.com and get signed up!  You have until December 15th to get your idea submitted, then the judges will pick 100 ideas.  Those picked will get a developer kit (hardware and software) and will have until March 32st to build a prototype.  The 10 finalist will get to show their presentations and systems to a panel of judges between April 15th and May 31st before a winner is selected.

Good luck!
