Come here. You are going to want to see this.

NEC provides an image object recognition engine which recognizes 2D objects such as product packages, posters, and paintings through a phone’s camera. This is very lightweight engine and easy to implement natively. The libraries for this API are available for Android right now — join our challenge and go for the NEC Prize!

48 hours straight to make something great.

The theme for this event is: Bots, Native Mobile, and the Web. Our sponsors will be on hand to help during the entire event. NEC Corporation is a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies that benefit businesses and people around the world. Special recognition will go to the participant with the best use of NEC’s API, and we promise the opportunities will continue.

Developer Camp is a worldwide network of entrepreneurs who gather regularly for a weekend hackathon that is unlike any other. Some events are hyper-competitive and focused on excellence or funding. Ours is different, more collaborative, more fun, and much more effective at identifying greatness.

Winners of our showcase have founded companies such as Square, Getaround, TestFlight, Sofa, Push.io & RelativeWave. TestFlight sold to Apple. Push.io sold to Oracle. Sofa sold to Facebook. RelativeWave sold to Google. Getaround just partnered with Toyota.

At our last event, Oren Jacob, CEO of PullString gave our keynote. Now Pullstring is leading the pack in user experience, and is currently on a roadshow with Amazon. At our upcoming event next weekend, our sponsor NEC is debuting a new computer vision API. Come check us out!
