DiY Android Kiosks Workshop: Turning a Raspberry Pi into a Modular Workhorse
VIP Demos (1:30 PM - 2:30 PM)
What happens when you take a Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen, slap Android on it, and bolt it onto an 80/20 aluminum cube? You get a kiosk that does way more than your average locked-down tablet. I'll show you how to build your own modular Android-based system that plays nice with USB peripherals you wouldn’t normally expect: Think webcams, and servos for automated 3D scanning and photography. Join us for a fun exploration into how Android can be pushed beyond its usual limits, in kiosk mode!
