In my previous posts, I have discussed about introduction to NFC and how corresponding apps are triggered when they interact with NFC tag or device. In this post, I will walk you through an actual android app which demonstrates the NFC behavior.

The app is used to guide people thru the Galli. Needs layar as well.
We have seen the days where a small amount of calculation work used to take decent amount of time. As the time passed, technology evolved and we have noticed electronic devices which reduced the work in a significant way. For example a calculator, it used to do a lot of math quickly and the clerk at the office was happy to use this. The reason is simple, it has made his work easier and quicker and gave correct results!
Similarly, with advancement in technology, we have seen many devices which have helped the mankind to solve his problem in an easier way. We have seen computer doing amazing work with great UI. In the last decade, there were some technologies which one has only noticed in the labs.But now they are main stream. Ex. Touch Screen mobiles, Audio controlled devices etc. We are truly living in a time where technology defines the way we interact,share,think & the way we live.
In this post I will be discussing one such advancement in technology. It’s called NFC.
If you have taken part in hackathons you would have noticed that generally teams break up, the end goal is not reached , ideas suddenly change etc. But at GADC ‘12 Bangalore organized by Blrdroid we had none of those. 14 teams started and 14 teams demoed.
The 4th place went to “Break your trip” , a nice service that splits your journey into multiple legs by different modes of transportation to save you money & time.
3rd place went to MagHills-fin@Train , an app that helps you make friends on a train to make your journey less boring.
2nd place went to EasyExpense , an app that tries to help you mange all your expenses. I could surely use this app.
And finally first place went to Math Puzzlers , by far one of the most polished and well though of apps. Some of us ( organizers ) were impressed with what they had achieved and importantly the way they packaged it.
Our first ever 48hour hackathon is done.
Here are some numbers:
We aimed to be a hackathon with a difference, a weekend where everyone was a winner in some way or the other.
We have a lot of follow up blog posts to write, a large list of people to thank, pictures to upload and world domination plans to put into place. So please watch this space for all the follow up updates.
