Gizmodo’s Developers Cubed series offers a behind the scenes look into Australia’s up and coming dev scene. This week: We chat with the recent winners of the Australian leg of Microsoft’s Imagine Cup, Team Stethocloud about how you go about developing a new and hugely less expensive stethscope as a smartphone app, what happens next for the team and why medical development might be the overlooked field that Aussie developers should target next.
This sucks. Microsoft’s Imagine Cup is an annual student challenge to tackle major issues with technology, but this year’s Australian team have been knocked-out of the finals in the US. Qantas lost their headset that turns thoughts into words — and the wheelchair it controls — and couldn’t deliver them until after the presentation to judges.
