Our first products, the 3Deva Vizor series are VR adapters for your smartphone, letting you convert your device into a fully fledged 3D TV/monitor, at a fraction of the price normally asked by the big players in the media industry.

Then, the Viiwok is a ODT (omnidirectional treadmill) which permits the player use his own body as a PC or console controller, thus browsing virtual environments in a natural way and paving the way for the first holodeck-like integrated solution in the world.

It is to be used in combination with a HMD (head mounted display) like the Oculus Rift or even the one later to be launched by 3Deva, offering full stereoscopy (3D video feed) at an 110+ degrees FOV (field of view).

I’m George Platon – passionate web & mobile software developer. I work currently at Catalysts (http://www.catalysts.cc/) as a team leader. I love to attend different IT events, find connections and get inspiration. I’m also the organizer of local Web meetup in Cluj-Napoca.

I describe myself as a very passionated guy. I’m quite active here in Cluj-Napoca local tech scene, by participating at different technology events. I am an active collaborator of TodaySoftwareMagazine with different articles.
The idea for the SpotTune application came to me during my faculty studies. I’ve created a small mobile application as a proof of concept and then I’ve participated with it at a IT contest from Timisoara. Recently, as I’ve used the app quite some time, I’ve decided to add some more features and bring it to life!

The positive and good feedback that I’ve received from different entrepreneurs make me to dedicate more time to it.
After a lot of designing, building and testing phases I am proud about the result : an application that eases people life, really save time & let the users enjoy the most precious moments for them! All these through the various events/tasks that the application is ready to take care.

Startup Weekend Brasov is a 54-hour event where developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups!

Startup Weekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend’s attendees have technical backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.

Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees are encouraged to bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams design and develop business plans while constantly streamlining their startup vision. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes, listen to judges’ feedback and in some cities, win prizes.

Startup Weekends are specifically designed for entrepreneurs interested in receiving feedback on an idea, looking for a co-founder, or who want to learn a new skill. We also welcome anyone looking to test the entrepreneurial waters. Startup Weekends are risk-free environments where everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves and dive into the exhilarating world of startups.
