April 28, 2015·Nancy Dahlberg 04/28/2015

Nearly 100 developers, students and entrepreneurs participated in the AT&T Mobile App Hackathon recently held at Nova Southeastern University, which  focused on building apps or websites that integrated the AT&T Enhanced WebRTC API.

The result of the hackathon was the creation of some great apps and websites.

Winners of the South Florida AT&T Mobile App Hackathon include:

● Best App Overall – WhiteBored

● Best Use of AT&T WebRTC (Tied) – Smart Class

● Best Use of AT&T WebRTC (Tied) – [Video] Call App

● Community Choice Award – TBD

● Most Useful Feedback for AT&T Enhanced WebRTC (Beta) – TBD

Below are the seven apps that resulted from the hackathon:

Agnostic - “We're giving AT&T and registered users the ability to make phone calls from their PC. Relaying Google Voice features to AT&T and registered users.”

[Video] Phone Call App - “Consumers have forgotten how to read. In fact, they are annoyed by businesses that lack a short explainer video. The problem is that these videos when shared across the web, lose contextual information normally present on the business website such as contact information. Our application embeds the call to action information directly into the explainer video itself, so a consumer can call the business directly from the video.”

Life: At a Glance - “Multi-platform application that integrates daily needs for a student who wants to keep in touch with their family, stay on top of their education, and altogether manage time in order to balance chaos in their lives.”

Tell Me, Doctor - “Facilitating private medical consults at any time and in any language.”

WhiteBored - “Collaborative white board that you can control with your my.”

Smart Class - “Smart Class is a web application that we developed for teachers and students to have easy access to one another without having to disclose personal information like phone numbers.”

PPPicturePhone - “Connect with people in your community who share your interests. Create a deeper connection to the people, places, and happenings that match your passions, purposes, and plans.”
