What Rideshare Could Mean For North Texas Healthcare
When rideshare come to mind, people don't typically think about healthcare. But Uber has a division called Uber Health that provides healthcare professionals the option to order rides for patients.

Founder and Inventor
HoboLoco
...on his patented virtual reality locomotion device.

Tett's device is a foot-operated game controller that makes it possible for someone without hands to play video games by using their feet like a keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. His idea formed the basis of his company, HoboLoco, which is a mashup of "hoverboard" and "locomotion."

This past weekend, HoboLoco took first place at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science's ENGine-uity pitch competition. Participants had five minutes to pitch their product idea in The Hoglund Foundation Theater to a panel of local judges.
