"Over the last few years we've been excited by the creativity
and enthusiasm other brands have demonstrated when integrating
GoPro into their own solutions," said Nick
Woodman, CEO and founder of GoPro. "The GoPro Developer
Program is a way for us to celebrate the innovative work of our
developer community and more importantly, help enable what comes
next. We're grateful to benefit from the collective genius of the
participating developers and we're excited to now officially
support their efforts with our developer toolkits."
The GoPro Developer Program toolkits enable developers to create
seamless user experiences between their products and GoPro products
in three primary ways:
- MOBILE APPS: Enables developers to create mobile apps
that connect with GoPro cameras. Functionality includes: camera
command and control, live video preview, and media management.
- DEVICES: Enables developers to create devices that
connect either physically to a GoPro camera via the HEROBus, or
wirelessly via Bluetooth® technology or Wi-Fi. Also provides the
ability to access numerous GoPro functions including: camera
command and control, video management and more.
- MOUNTS / HOUSINGS: Enables developers to create accurate
and reliable physical mounting solutions for GoPro devices.
At GoPro's launch event, 34 of the more than 100 participating
companies showcased a wide variety of GoPro-compatible
implementations, including:
- BMW – M-Laptimer App: A track day data acquisition and
analysis suite for the enthusiast driver. Records car telemetry
data, speed, location and video from GoPro cameras to provide
accurate and informative feedback, and playback of content.
- FISHER-PRICE: Integration of GoPro-compatible,
child-friendly camera housing and mounts into a suite of new
products including Fisher-Price Jumperoo, Walker and Gym products
to help parents celebrate the amazing milestones in their child's
early years from a unique perspective.
- TELEFÓNICA – Xtreamr Mobile App: With the
simplicity of sharing a link, Xtreamr enables live sharing of
multi-dimensional video experiences, as they happen, with the
people you care about the most. Make memories and share them
live.
- TIMECODE SYSTEMS – SyncBac PRO: Timecode synchronizes
GoPro cameras for seamless integration into professional television
and film workflows.
"We have been able to achieve so much with the SyncBac PRO due
to the amazing sharing of technology offered through the GoPro
Developer Program," said Paul Scurrell, CEO of Timecode Systems
Limited. "To me, this is exactly what best-of-breed technology
companies should be doing – taking the best of their own offerings
and combining them to drive innovation and elegant solutions. The
end result is a product combination that's greater than the sum of
two halves, providing the end user with the best possible solution
available."

brand association program for companies who make products that work
with GoPro products. Companies that have completed the Works
with GoPro verification can enjoy the benefits of integrated
marketing, including the use of the Works with GoPro logo.
Consumers can enjoy products with the Works with GoPro logo
knowing they are verified by GoPro to work well with GoPro
Products.
