PocketCaster™
GPS application which took top honors in the competition and walked away with
$50K in cash (and $10k for winning the Business Application category) +$100k in
Navteq data licenses. The application is designed to take advantage of camera
phones (video) with integrated GPS capabilities (like the new Nokia N95). Simply
put, the app enables simple, one-button mobile web casting where the user can
stream video live to a web server while the application also embeds data, time,
and geopositioning information into the video stream. The user’s location can
be tracked and viewed dynamically on a mashup (like a Google map) or with Navteq
data while the video is streaming and the user location is continually updated.
Comvue is the developer of the popular Comvue PocketCaster application, enabling
users to stream live video to websites, blogs, or other web apps. See http://www.comvu.com/
