VR makes it possible for companies to capitalize on traditional video game escapism — a far cry from the branded Snapchat filters and Facebook sticker packs of yore. Many aspects of tech are designed to empower the individual — to help us get things instantly without ever having to talk to another person. So I expected to see some startups applying this concept in new and different ways. Jobalaya , for instance, is a site designed to help introverted job seekers get referrals without networking.
The overt message here was mostly about catering to talented technologists without the social prowess or desire to network.
Live a Moment is the one app that might serve to change my mind. The idea is that you not only get access to beautiful videos taken all over the world, but you can also graph and track your emotions, and then share them with other users. Finally, a way to make mindfulness a more global, shareable experience — one users can identify with as they progress through their own unique journey with the app one day at a time.
But then I met the inventive teenagers behind Myonic : wearable technology that enables users with paralysis to control their own muscles. As soon as I saw the video playing at their booth — a woman with paralysis controlling her own hand just by thinking about the movement — I was hooked. Long story short: I let a teenager with a headset and stick-on sensors control my hand with his mind. They count bodies, not phones. The app provides degree views of different bars minus people, so you can get the full lay of the land in advance — complete with outdoor patios, VIP sections, etc.
They also give users the ability to set an alert for when the venue reaches your desired capacity. On the list of must-have apps for summertime in NYC, Looop is way up there. And if they make it to Starbucks, I will be first in line when the crowd dies down. Not everyone is familiar with crowdsourcing. But over the 3 days of Disrupt NY, I met dozens of developers, data scientists, and designers.
Some of them, I was thrilled to learn, are or have been Topcoder members. Using the software, you can easily connect data points important to you across multiple silos. And the biggest perk is that if your data or model changes, FactGem can accommodate that in real time to continue delivering insights. You can answer questions about your data quicker than ever and without writing even a single line of code.
