The Presage SmartSpectra SDK Challenge invites developers to create innovative applications that harness real-time human signal data from a camera, such as heart rate, breathing patterns, and facial expressions.

Four winners will be selected for the "Best Overall Human-Sensing Experience" category, and six winners will receive prizes in two additional categories: "Most Creative or Delightful Use" and "Best Thoughtful Real-World Use". To enter, participants must submit a functional app using the Presage SmartSpectra SDK that demonstrates meaningful interaction with live human signals, along with a DEV post, public code repository, setup instructions, and a demo video.

Additionally, developers must explain how they obtained camera consent and handle data, including any storage, sharing, retention, deletion, SDK telemetry, or optional AI service use. Submissions must be made via a DEV post using the "#presagechallenge" tag by November 22nd at 11:59 PM PST. While team submissions are not permitted, participants aged 18 or older may submit as individuals.
