At DeveloperWeek 2016, DJI held its first ever Mobile SDK Hackathon, an event where developers worked in teams and used DJI’s Mobile SDK to build apps for DJI’s signature Osmo, a 3-axis handheld camera stabilization system in just 30 hours.

First prize in the Hackathon went to the MIMR team, four students from the National University of Singapore who were in the Bay Area on an internship. The team used an Android smartphone’s internal accelerometer sensor to control the movement of the Osmo camera along with the Mobile SDK. This effectively added two person control to the Osmo, giving users the power to shoot complex shots.

Perfect Selfie/Mood Tracking – Track an Osmo user’s face and expressions using Mobile SDK along with Android’s vision API.
Motus – An augmented reality based tour guide app that using iPhone GPS and MapView to guide a user down a path.
Community Event Hub – An online database driven event and messaging hub

While the DJI Mobile SDK Hackthon may be closing, entries are still open for the 2016 DJI Developer Challenge. Held in collaboration with Ford, this is DJI’s largest developer challenge to date and will see participants creating aerial systems for search and rescue that could completely revolutionize the industry and go on to save lives.
