I think it depends on your notebook's webcam:

I was there. You point the flashlight on your phone at your computers webcam. The software (Javascript / Canvas I think) lets you draw with the light, while you can change colours with your phone. The bonus part was where they used the intensity of the light as a Z-axis, so by moving the phone closer / further away you could build a 3D light painting in the canvas.

About 22 hours, actually. Hacking started about 11am Saturday, and ended 9am Sunday. It was a really short one!

Many submissions aren't actually made in the given time period. They usually will bring either a partially to fully complete project (pretty sure it's cheating but yeah).
