Summary

The Video Hack Day event brought together hackers who formed teams and worked on various projects, including an augmented reality iPhone app called Terminator Vision that won the first place prize and People's Choice award. The app allows users to see the world like a cyborg from the Terminator franchise. Other notable winners included Open Live Streaming Server, a Node.js-based video streaming server; Screening Room, a turntable.fm-style platform for video sharing; and Where 9/11, an app built using Ruby on Rails that lets users share their stories of September 11th with videos and comments. The event was sponsored by Shelby.tv and featured a panel of judges who awarded prizes to the top teams.
