hackathon2015-hornby-hub - Hornby Toads

IoT hub by the Hornby Toads team for the 2015 Intelliware IoT hackathon

Intro

Is now a good time to go to the kitchen for a coffee and a chat? Or is now a good time to go to the kitchen while there are no queues? What about the kitchens on the other floors? Or the bathroom...

Our hackathon project aimed to solve these problems by harnessing a Raspberry PI with a video camera paired with a NodeJS server and AngularJS frontend.

See the PI camera client: https://github.com/Intelliware/hackathon2015-hornby-pi/blob/master/README.md

Live Demo

A live demo is running on Heroku: https://hackathon2015-hornby.herokuapp.com

It might take a few seconds for the server to initially respond as the dyno is spun up.

Note that the database is reset daily.
