This is really interesting to me, because I too am very interested in something like this but I'm not in a "startup hot spot" like the bay. I'm tempted to just apply for a visa and come down, but I think the OP would be wise in looking at ways to take this idea outside of the usual circles of startups.
Also as a sidenote, codecademy, is a great tool for learning code from anywhere in the world. It's not bad, probably not as good as a hands on instructor, but it's certainly a worthwhile endevour to explore if you are really interested in learning how to code.
Interestingly enough, I think a technology like this has to be monitored by professional sports--maybe not now, but I could see this type of technology being the new frontier in "cheating". It seems like the logical next step in performance enhancement. Imagine a display that could read the velocity of a fastball, measure the drop of a sinker, read a quarterbacks heart rate, or judge which receiver is the most open. A lot of players in professional sports already deal with technologically advanced contacts, though these are quite rudimentary and merely change the tint (Yellow and Red) to allow for athletes to see specific details much more clearly.
I wonder if it's just bug abuse? Does anyone remember when you could remove random websites from Google's index by simply logging into your account and then inserting another website address? I wouldn't be surprised if this was a similar exploit.
