The contest, sponsored by Santa Cruz electronics giant Plantronics transformative arm, PLT Labs, challenged teams competing from 33 countries to make the best companion app for Plantronics new Bluetooth headset, the Concept One.
BitCot’s Sanghvi was up for the challenge: He created PlanetCar, an app that uses built-in sensors to raise an alert in the event of a car accident or collision. His vision for PlanetCar was to assist first responders to reach an emergency site in record time.
