QBLabs CTO Presents ‘Circuits to Cha Cha’ to Denver iOS Developer User Group

Molly Maskrey, CTO of Quantitative Bioanalytics Labs (QBLabs), presents "Circuits to Cha Cha" to the Denver iOS Developer User Group, September 15th. Ms. Maskrey's discussion fuses the concrete with the abstract, combining MEMS sensors, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), Swift, and WatchKit with the expressive art form of dance, allowing empirical performance measurement for what, today, is purely subjective. Not just a theoretical dialogue, Ms. Maskrey demonstrates her work using hardware and software she designed.
