Student Venture Description

Line Mogul

(1st Place, Entrepreneurship Track)

Line Mogul focuses on the untapped market where people frustrated at waiting for their drinks at concerts have the option to pay for the ultimate, no-wait experience at their favorite events. This is a fee-based phone app that would maximize the event-goer’s experience and help event vendors capture their market price, provide quicker transactions, and capture buyer analytics.

PocketSight

(1st Place, Prototype Track)

PocketSight aims to bridge the gap between quiet electric cars and pedestrians with visual impairment. This device is designed to help the user determine whether it is safe to cross the street safely, based on the detection of the speed and distance of the car.

EMOTE

(1st Place, Social Entrepreneurship Track)

EMOTE is a wearable device for remotely tracking and sharing emotions in real-time. EMOTE uses physiological sensors that detect heart rate, muscle tension, and skin conductance, and it uses an algorithm to infer the emotional state of the user, with data transmitted through LTE and securely stored on a mobile application.

PLAD

(1st Place, Engineering Track)

Power Line Arc Detector (PLAD) is designed to investigate the efficacy of detecting radio frequency interference (RFI) emitted from overhead power lines and combining this data with an automated mapping system via GPS. The basic system design will include three primary components: a radio front end, a processor, and a global positioning system (GPS).

iGot it Repairs

Bucky::Liner

(2nd Place, Prototype Track)

Bucky::Liner is a two-wheeled rover “bot” which augments and aids the human task of soccer field maintenance by re-application of field lines. Bucky is programmed to see and trace as well as apply new paint to soccer fields to replace the laborious and time-consuming, weekly task of
maintaining soccer fields.

Hemp Construction Materials and Services

(2nd Place, Social Entrepreneurship Track)

Hemp Construction Materials and Services’ mission is to provide California with something it desperately needs: a building material that is fireproof, more resistant to earthquakes, lightweight, and entirely natural. Hemp building materials are carbon negative and air pockets within hempcrete trap moisture, heat, and cold, providing long-term energy savings!

Motion Controlled Robotic Arm 

(2nd Place, Engineering Track)

The “Motion Control Power Glove” for robotic arms is designed for use in aiding and augmenting laborious or manually-challenging tasks where human labor alone may not be able to directly achieve production and results. The “Power Glove” uses a mounted sensor unit connected wirelessly to a robotic arm which will serve various application types including: manufacturing, prosthetics, accessibility, medicine, military, construction, education, research, and emergency/hazard response.

Pho In & Out
