Congrats Space Apps SF Winners!
Best Use of Hardware: Sat Alert
Sat Alert is a Pebble watchface that alerts the user to satellites traveling overhead. It currently tracks ~40 satellites. The app takes TLE data of satellite movements and generates latitude and longitude coordinates. It calculates the distance between the satellites and the user. If a satellite is above the user, the app alerts the user. If it is after dusk, the app tells the user the satellite may be visible as well as tells the user which direction to look to see the satellite.

Best Use of Data: Halley's Hitchhikers
Utilizing the Leap Motion hardware Halley's Hitchhikers is a 3D Visualization platform that allows users to navigate the solar system. You can rotate and zoom in all directions using your hands floating over the keyboard. Gestures of pointing allows you to select asteroids and planets and zoom in for a 360 degree view of the chosen objects. Grabbing data from Nasa's near Earth object program, we are rendering the asteroids accurately in distance and estimated size.

People's choice: GESTURE-CONTROLLED-ROBO
We would like to utilize the Leap Motion technology to assist astronauts using robots without controls. Different hand signals would control different ranges of movement. This would include the motion; the movement of the Robot to where it needs to go, and the action; what the robot does when it gets there.
