IoT Devices, Fun & Games
Details
This October edition of the IoT Timisoara Meetup, will include in the agenda three presentations
Within the first one, Catalin Gheorghiu of I Computer Solutions will show that big boys can still play with toys.
It's obvious that Internet of Things is the next Big Thing, the game changer in the IT world. Most analysts think that it will make our homes more comfortable, our traveling safer, help us taking better care of our health (don't forget saving the environment!) and so on. All that is important, but we should not forget that we are Homo Ludens and we also need to have some time for fun in our lives.

Catalin has decided to put Raspberry Pi, Arduino and a few mobile devices into the blender, add some wires and a non-disclosed number of lines of code, press the high speed button and see how much Fun & Games can be squeeze out of the mixture.
During this meetup Catalin will deliver several demos and he will show that IoT can turn serious things into games and totally funny things. While having fun participants will see what Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015 and of course Azure can do to help us make great IoT solutions using Raspberry Pi2 and Arduino devices.
A lot of code, a lo lot of devices, the cloud, Catalin's legendary chocolates and a lots of fun awaits you
The second presentation will bring to participants' attention one of the most promising products developed in Timisoara. Lighty (http://www.getlighty.com/)is a smart videoprojector combining in a slick design the smartness of an Android system and the quality of a powerful pico-beamer, resulting in a easy to use interactive home or office appliance.

Ovidiu Sandru (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ovidiusandru), the developer of the Lighty concept will present his product prototype, demonstrating its interesting features:
• the panoramic moving retractable robotic projector,
• the quad-core ARM processor capable of playing movies or Google Play games.
• the powerful high-quality stereo audio system .
In the final segment of the event we'll have Aurel Chiper (https://ro.linkedin.com/in/aurelchiper), Ovidiu Vatafu (https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=108039808&trk=send_invitation_success_message_name&goback=%2Enpv_AAkAAAZwjoABL59wWgwmTigpGKSRkQ34XswRfi4_1_1_NAME4SEARCH_Rvpo_1_en4US_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_tyah_1_1) and Victor Holotescu (https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAkAABEGOksB7YCBej5PZheBY56Q2pYR4e2Q3dA&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=acXt&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Amynetwork%2CclickedEntityId%3A285620811%2CauthType%3ANAME_SEARCH%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1445580349901%2Ctas%3AVictor%20Holotescu) the uber-tekkies from SafeFleet (http://www.safefleet.ro/), coming with a good load of the IoT goodies they are preparing for the IoTbuZZ competition, part of the November 6-8th 2015 edition of HackTM (http://hacktm.ro/), the biggest hackathon in Eastern Europe.
