rahmu wroteDescribe the event in several words?
Before starting with the competition part, i need to point out that the food was completely disgusting, we ate at approx. 1:00 PM and stayed the whole day until 8:00 AM with only water available.
There was around 35 teams, 22 teams were qualified, the rest were eliminated. We waited from 5:30 PM till 9:00 PM till the very last team presentation in front of the judges, to know the winner team. Sadly, the judges chose the team with the augmented reality app. Their app consist of using the camera to take 2 pictures, then lets say you choose the shirt from the first image and try it on the second image to see how it looks on the body of the second image. Also, you can store these shirts, pants.... in a closet.
This will be my last time wasting my time on a Microsoft competition in Lebanon except for the Imagine Cup or when they replace the brainless "Ghassan Chahine".
He lied to us like 3 times:
First, he insisted on us to join the dev. camp and he told us that several team will win one xbox 360 with a kinect and each member a Nokia Lumia.
Second, when we were in the dev. camp, he told us that 2 team members will win each a Nokia Lumia.
Finally, we knew that only one team will win. He pointed out that the Nokia Lumia will be available in December 18, which he didn't mention before at all.
Also, the so called Microsoft WP7 expert "Dave or David" who was giving the training sessions, had no idea and wasn't able to solve the problem we had in our app. He even googled not binged to find the solution, and left us without solving it.
