We built the next level of Neural Interfacing at Canada's biggest Hackathon — no screens, no voice, just your mind:
This weekend at Hack the North was unreal.
I helped break a Guinness World Record, met incredible folks like jeff nguyen and Amjad Masad, and pitched to Shopify, Y Combinator, Coinbase, Ollama, Snap Inc., Cohere, and more.
🧠 What we built (in plain English):
Seenapse redefines human-computer interaction by replacing screens and voice with neural input your brain/body already produces.
🕶️ Using the Neurosity Crown (EEG) + Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, a blink or quick jaw clench can:
• Snap a photo hands-free
• Send your live location to contacts (SOS)
• Trigger a text or call instantly
• Execute personalized automations (Lights, music, apps)
And when your brain signals show stress or low mood, Seenapse auto-runs routines — like playing your Calm playlist — to help you reset.
🙏 Massive thanks to my insanely talented teammates — building with you was a blast - Jocelyn Anahid Velarde Barrón, Nearhos Hatzinikolaou, Vetrivel Balaji!!!!
💙 And much love to Hack the North and all the sponsors for a weekend I'll never forget.
