Today was the Russian final of the Imagine Cup 2009. Under the cut a lot of photos with relatively sane comments.
3 partPart 2At the very beginning a dance group addressed the audience with a claim to Egyptian dance.



Then there was the presentation of the jury



Minute Advertisements

The first was the
Women's Logic team from South Ural State University

with your project "
Lukomorye "
"Lukomorye" is a software system for children of younger and middle age, focused on the enrichment of the spiritual world and the cultural development of the childWhat the girls showed most resembles a simple flash game, consisting of small blocks, but as the developers say, the emphasis is on online compositing. So children of the whole world will be able to play the game together. To remove the language barrier, a translator is built into the chat.


The possibilities of “parental control” were presented: in this way you can adjust the duration of the game (from a minute to 30 maximum), you can follow the online correspondence of your child, for this you only need to enter your email, and “messages especially dangerous for the child” are blocked and sent to parents via SMS


Looking at the video (the game was demonstrated only in the form of a video), there is only one question “how to make the child play in“ this ”??? Not a bad idea, but so far there is no corresponding implementation
The next team was
Sense from RSU them. I. Kant
Sense is a software and hardware complex, the management of which is based on the contactless perception of a person’s commands by a computer



Guys offer to manage all the devices using sensors attached to the wrists. The presentation showed how two bracelets and a receiver were used to control the position of the elements and draw. According to them, “what we are showing you now is a dead end, but on it we are working on a software product, and when we work out then we will make a normal device.”

In contrast to the technical, the software part deserves praise. SDK was developed with which you can connect new devices, work with office documents, create online conferences

In the future, the developers plan to add feedback, and “not just motors”, but some kind of know-how. which they still keep secret.
