IEEE WHC ’15 Student Innovation Challenge
About the Challenge
The student innovation challenge focuses on making the world a better place through haptics. This year, participants will build mobile applications using the TPad Phone. The TPad Phone is an Android smartphone with a variable-friction haptic display. Students will write an Android application that uses the haptic display to solve some real-world problem. Teams will compete for $3,000 in cash prizes and each member of a winning team will receive a brand new Microsoft Surface Pro 3, up to 12 total.
