#ALGORITHMS: "Design contest: Win $10,000 for a two-minute video"

Win up to $10,000 in Freescale Semiconductor's "How Do You Make Sense of the World Contest." Look for designers cashing in on a $15,000 total purse in time for Christmas shopping. RColinJohnson, Kyoto Prize Fellow @NextGenLog



Here is what EETimes says about sensing your world: Aimed at identifying the most original application of its smart Xtrinsic MEMS accelerometers, pressure sensors and touch sensors, entrants must submit a video showing the unique aspects of their application. Videos must be two- to three-minutes long and uploaded for public viewing by Nov. 5. The contest's objective is demonstrate novel uses of the "four tees"—touch, tap, tilt and transmit—which are made possible by smart sensors with integrated communications abilities. Multiple entries are allowed, but some restriction apply regarding previously demonstrated applications. Read all the rules here.
