Inputs included scrolling up and down webpages using arm gestures or the up and down buttons on the pebble as well as playing, pausing, skipping and going back to another youtube video, whether or not the current tab of the webpage was on youtube.
The application was developed in C and Javascript and communicates with Android and iPhones to connect with the computer desktop. -
Sync-Center (yHack 2013 Android App)
Sync-Center is an Android application that changes phone settings depending on the location and time. Specifically, the phone can toggle wifi, bluetooth, vibration, modify sound settings ranging from silent to loud, and send texts depending on whether the phone enters or leaves a location.
Some use cases are having the phone automatically be silent and turn off wifi when you enter work, but reset those settings once you leave work.
• Created an Android application in 24 hours…Sync-Center is an Android application that changes phone settings depending on the location and time.

• Created an Android application in 24 hours using Android, XML and Google APIs
• Developed the layout of the application using XML and different activities
• Set up main functions that modified the phone settings
• Used the Google Geofence API to trigger phone setting changes
• Redesigned the application to have cleaner implementation of forms
