While you drank and slept Saturday night away, 80 people at iPadDevCamp this weekend, including developers, idea people, and local startups came together to form teams and develop extremely polished iPad applications in 48 hours.  AOLV in addition to B&N and Apple sponsored it and The Hatchery put the whole thing on.  It was amazing to see the innovation in such a short time and we can’t thank everyone enough for coming through and hacking away at the iPad.  Some of the coolest projects were:

1.    Campers – Roast virtual food and marshmallows with a group of friends on your iPhones when you hold your phones close to the simulated fire on the iPad.
2.    Ghost in the Machine – Ouija board for iPad.  Very collaborative and definitely speaks to the device as ‘board game of the future.’  The ghost was pretty hilarious.
3.    Dragonflies – Enables kids to explore a virtual backyard to collect, inspect, learn more about and squash virtual bugs.
4.    WeeAtlas – Map exploration application for kids which allows them to see an overview of different countries in the world, and watch a video introduction to each.

Special thanks to Doug Fulop, our intern, for writing up this and crushing the event.
