These are not your typical software engineering events.  BASE is focused on emerging technologies and creating events around topics that have never been attempted.  Events may be around such topics as Big Data, Machine Learning, Robotics, Nanotechnology, 3D Printing, Synthetic Biology, Artificial Intelligence, Computer History, Computer Vision, Augmented Reality (AR), and using software to create art. BASE creates events only possible in San Francisco and the Bay area with experts from all walks …

This is a group for anyone interested in image and text recognition algorithms and their applications in real life problems. Join us and lets create world's most creative discussion group on image and text recognition technology.

This is a group for developers who are using cameras in creative ways to make great mobile apps. We meet up from time to time to do show&tell, and compare notes on techniques and issues that we have in common.

The evaForge team is working on a Open Design entry into the DARPA uavForge challenge.  Based in the Bay Area the evaForge entry is based on the innovative QuadShot airframe designed by a team based in Santa Cruz.  The QuadShot is "an aerobatic blend of RC helis and planes" which provides the key capabilities of both vertical takeoff/landing like a helicopter and efficient forward flight like a plane. The evaForge team is working on the "mission" payload, which includes the hardware and softwar …

App Day events are just like hackathons except we aim to launch products at end of day. While hackathons are product oriented, I like to think App Day is people/team oriented. My goal as the organizer of App Day is to build powerful product teams so to improve my own skills as a developer. But the only way to achieve that is to surround myself with talented, committed individuals who would make it their goal to build me up and make me better as I do the same for them. We Must lift each other up …

Hi! This group is for those creative types interested in expressing their three dimensional dreams into way cool videos using Adobe After Effects. Our primary focus is on creating beautiful worlds in 3D with AE, not so much on compositing and green screens. Not big on war on violence, just projecting our visions of sanity and beauty with a big "wow" factor for those who see our work. We welcome all skill levels to the wonderful world of 3D animation in Adobe After Effects. Come join the laughter …
