Microsoft - Rube Goldberg & The Curious Cloud Contest

Worked with Synteractive and Microsoft to produce a game and supporting website for attendees of the MIX11 conference in Las Vegas. The contest involved building and filming a Rube-Goldberg-esque contraption that contained a Netduino and series of sensors. The resultant device would communicate with Azure, Microsoft’s cloud offering, and report the status of the device, and whether or not the contest conditions had been met. Contest entries were voted for via the Facebook API. Other technologies included HTML 5, Bing maps, and Twitter.
