Code in Action

Transport game with real-time data

Team 94AI created a “smart city game” that uses real-time data on public transport in Plzeň provided by the City of Plzeň Information Technology Administration. Thanks to this, the game runs live and reflects the movement of actual trams across the city.

Smart 3D‑printed pill container

Team PIKADOR designed and built a prototype of a rotating dispenser for a weekly medication dose for a person with epilepsy. It works offline, is inspired by a revolver’s rotating cylinder, and is complemented by a mobile app that keeps track of regular dosing and alerts the patient if a dose is missed.

Laser tag for wheelchair users

While tackling a challenge from Astrum Mobility and the SK Indians sports team, Team Prestige showed that athletes with a handicap can jump into a well-known action game too. The result is a new laser tag concept played on an electric wheelchair that can be controlled with just one finger.

Slowing down speech on television

Ever since his car accident, Zdenek has had trouble understanding speech at typical speeds. But he is still, of course, interested in the world around him. So the team successfully slowed down speech converted from television subtitles using speech technologies so that Zdenek could keep up with it.

A smart keyboard

Lenka struggles with the effects of cerebral palsy. But the special smart keyboard that the hacking team created using 3D printing enables her to listen to audiobooks, watch YouTube videos, send emails, and SMS texts using Morse code. It also lets her play back recordings from her lessons, aiding her studies significantly.

A communication tool for children with autism

The Sisyphus project was created directly at the request of nurses who work with children on the autism spectrum and needed a device that is easy to operate and, above all, inexpensive. Team Plajta delivered an affordable 3D form and an application for printing cards that even works with competing products.
