The tenth anniversary of DemoJam was celebrated in a grand way at SAP TechEd && d-code this past week in Berlin. Berlin DemoJam goers got the chance to witness seven live entertaining demos, all of which were unique and full of creativity.
Michael Weisz, Stephan Schultz and their team experienced a double win at Berlin by winning both the InnoJam and DemoJam. The IT-Systems Engineering students from the Hasso Plattner Institute created an application, Remote Farming, that provided the possibility to plant, water, fertilize and harvest your own plants in real life from the convenience of your own mobile device. Remote Farming enables its users to monitor the growth of their plants by checking live sensor data and even lets them watch the plants grow using a webcam. The IT-Systems Engineering students had 24 hours to create the application and the demo for Remote Farming. Despite having such little time, the students managed to pull forth such a great idea which eventually led to their win.

If by any chance you missed the show, here is a quick recap of the night:
- Tomer Steinberg kicked off DemoJam Berlin 2014 by demoing Run Your City Safer with SAP InfinteInsight. Steinberg presented a solution that will help police forces operate more effectively by predicting the location and time of when a future crime is likely to occur. With these predictions, it allows for police forces to be at the right place at the right time with the appropriate resources. The demo runs on SAP HANA, SAP Data Services Software, SAP BusinessObjects BI solutions, SAP InfiniteInsight, and Esri Integration for SAP BusinessObjects. Watch Demo

Care-MIT is a social marketplace where you can earn Care Points by providing care to others and the points earned can be exchanged to give care to the ones you love when you aren’t able to do so yourself. This unique concept that urges people to become voluntarily caregivers was built in the SAP HANA Cloud Platform with a SAPUI5 screen. Watch Demo

The “New Wave” Dimension of Omnichannel E-Commerce gives customers a realistic virtual feel of a product that they want to buy by analyzing their emotional response to a product. Doodson and Powell designed and manufactured their own virtual reality brain-sensing headset that tracked the emotional responses of customers on their overall product experience. The brain-sensing headset has immense possibilities for analyzing end-to-end experience and improving the design of any product which opens up a whole new world of possibilities for customer relationship management insight. This demo runs on SAP HANA Cloud Platform combining it with virtual reality brainwave sensing. Watch Demo
