June Connected Devices Meet Up in San Francisco

On Tuesday night we hosted the sixth CD/SF meetup. The turnout was strong like last month and the content was informative and relevant. Thanks to all the Mozillians who made it out. And special thanks to our speakers:

Morgan Fabian (Autodesk) @morganjfabian
Morgan discussed some of her recent projects: an environmental data collecting robot, a modular sensor package, controlling devices via a game engine and the latest (and ongoing) project of designing multiple connected devices that work in concert.

Tomomi Imura (PubNub) @girlie_mac
Tomomi talked about her KittyCam project. This device is created using a RaspberryPi with a camera module and a motion sensor. It’s written in Node.js using the Johnny-Five and KittyDar modules. It even includes feline facial detection.
