SAN FRANCISCO, April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At a private event today in San Francisco, GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) unveiled the GoPro Developer Program, an effort to support companies wanting to develop a seamless user experience between their products and GoPro products.

"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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
-- TELEFÃNICA - 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."
