Barcode battle

ShowMe Barcode Battle

For International iPower, we built a quick, fun application in ShowMe+ to showcase the solutions speed and real-time prowess.  The application was based upon barcode scanning and designed as a fun game in which delegates could compete.

The rules are simple, scan 20 unique barcodes in as quick a time as possible.  Whomever scans all 20 in the quickest time, wins!

Following the iPower event, we decided to give it a go ourselves... but who won within the Utilities 400 team?

Barcode Battle - Part 1

First we have Filippo.  Filippo is a developer and is of Italian descent.  As such, he's basing his quick firing tactics on the work of legendary Spaghetti Western director, Sergio Leone. Good, Bad or Ugly, Filippo is determined to win either way.

Next up is Jon.  Jon is our principle engineer for ShowMe technologies and Clint Eastwood fan.  With this inspiration, he feels lucky.  Go ahead, make his day.

Finally we have Janet.  Don't let her day-to-day responsibilities as a consultant fool you.  Inspired by Pricess Leia, she's out to prove that the force is strong with this one. ​

Barcode Battle - Part 2 

The battle was a close run race but there was only one winner.  Can you guess who it was?
