Hackers produce 14 apps in 26-hour frenzy at perceptual computing event.
A voice-activated skeet shooting app won top honors at a marathon 26-hour computing hackathon in Sacramento, Calif. The event hosted by Hacker Lab drew 52 participants and spawned 14 apps that use so-called perceptual computing, including a head-tracking robot, a sign-language teaching game and the age-old hand game of roshambo, or rock-paper-scissors.
The participating hackers comprised 15 teams and four of the apps they produced captured titles and a share of ,000 in cash prizes awarded by Intel. A sign language teaching game by Team BOGWack won for Best Education App and a robot with a custom head-tracking feature took Most Innovative honors for Team Code Monkeys. The Best Game winner by Team TeleMe was based on roshambo.

In computing, a keyboard is a typewriter-style device, which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. Following the decline of punch cards and paper tape, interaction via teleprinter-style keyboards became the main input device for computers.
A keyboard typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys and each press of a key typically corresponds to a single written symbol. However, to produce some symbols requires pressing and holding several keys simultaneously or in sequence. While most keyboard keys produce letters, numbers or signs (characters), other keys or simultaneous key presses can produce actions or execute computer commands.
Despite the development of alternative input devices, such as the mouse, touchscreen, pen devices, character recognition and voice recognition, the keyboard remains the most commonly used device for direct (human) input of alphanumeric data into computers.
In normal usage, the keyboard is used to type text and numbers into a word processor, text editor or other programs. In a modern computer, the interpretation of key presses is generally left to the software. A computer keyboard distinguishes each physical key from every other and reports all key presses to the controlling software. Keyboards are also used for computer gaming, either with regular keyboards or by using keyboards with special gaming features, which can expedite frequently used keystroke combinations. A keyboard is also used to give commands to the operating system of a computer, such as Windows’ Control-Alt-Delete combination, which brings up a task window or shuts down the machine. A command-line interface is a type of user interface operated entirely through a keyboard, or another device doing the job of one.
