Winners of the Master Codemason Competition

Winner 1: Darko Radiceski
APP name: AAMHatchEye
The AAMHatchEye system employs the Bing Maps and Bing decision engine in collaboration with exclusive AAMHatch oblique imagery to give you the user a unique experience. AAMHatch oblique imagery contains full colour, high resolution imagery enabling ground features to be seen in their entirety (from all angles – North, South, East, West); not just the 'top down' view that can be seen in traditional aerial and satellite photography. That gives you the chance to see object faces as you would see them when looking from down the street.

Winner 2: Robert Crago
APP name: MusicRadio
MusicRadio plays your favourite songs and overlays short text-to-speech messages between songs. Right there in your ears without even having to glance at the screen.

Winner 3: Luis Ortega
APP name: The Follow Me Clock
See where everyone is at a glance. See the persons you follow, colour coded, in an easy to read display. You decide who can follow you. If you have a GPS, the clock updates automatically. If you don’t have a GPS, you can set the location manually.
