Challenge Overview

Background

Hewlett Packard has developed a set of JSON-based REST API’s which enable “Big Data”-type processing capabilities allowing developers to process information embedded in unstructured text and images in previously inaccessible formats.  This platform is called IDOL OnDemand and at this point is in the Early Access release phase, open for all Innovators to use.

The HP IDOL OnDemand Google Glass Hackathon Challenge

Is there any current technology more William Gibson than Google Glass? At [topcoder] we don’t think so.  This platform is way cool and it also has huge potential.  HP and [topcoder] want to you to build a working Google Glass app that integrates with the HP IDOL OnDemand API. We’re hoping to engage your creativity.  The deliverable for this challenge is a working Google Glass application which makes at least one API call to the HP IDOL OnDemand platform. There will be two winners for this competition.  The first winner will be selected by HP based on use of the IDOL OnDemand platform and potential business impact – a business to business application.  The second winner will be judged on impact of the application for the consumer market itself – this will be a prize for the best direct to consumer application.

Getting started up with IDOL OnDemand

Before you can view all the API’s you’ll need to sign up for an IDOL OnDemand developer account:
