Inspiration

The Apple Watch may be semi-stylish, but the apps for it are extremely dull. We wanted to create an interactive color-changing app that can brighten the user's life.

What it does

Based on accelerometer and gyroscope input, this app can change the colors of UI elements. It also allows for wireless networking with hardware devices, though this particular implementation is unfinished due to time constraints.

How we built it

color.me was built using Swift on XCode, using an Apple Watch for running it.

Challenges we ran into

Time constraints prevented full implementation of the networking code to connect the Intel Edison to the Watch.

We also had no router to use for networking, so we modified a Raspberry Pi to act as a wireless router.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Accessing motion information in Swift is a very interesting process, figuring that out was quite an adventure.

What we learned

Apple Watch has a lot of potential, and there should be very interesting apps coming from developers.

What's next for color.me

Full networking code will be finished, allowing color.me to control any hardware device with the Apple Watch
