Congratulations to winners of Splash Awards 2011!

 More than 250 students and guests turned up for the Splash Awards Ceremony and Marketplace on 29 August 2011 at the ACM.

 Shortlisted teams were given a chance to showcase their prototypes at the Marketplace.  To add a fun element to the programme, there was a treasure hunt as well as a quiz segment and lucky draw that incorporated Quick Response codes (QR) before the start of the Award Ceremony.

This year’s Splash Awards attracted many interesting entries ranging from simple interfacing games, augmented and interactive reality, right up to 3D modelling with Goggle Earth and Docent Technology.  These innovative ideas and concepts incorporated virtual reality, QR (Quick Response) codes and location-based technologies as part of their solutions.

The winning entries in particular, exemplified innovation and polish in their applications.  Amongst them was an interactive game that is used to help primary school students learn more about heritage in a fun and engaging way.  The team has also published this application in the Windows Phone marketplace just this month and has already garnered more than 100 users.  Another winning entry used virtual reality to make history come alive when visiting museums. We also give an honorary mention prize to an entry that managed a very comprehensive heritage guide that is very close to being deployed in public. 

Take a look at the winners of the Splash Awards 2011 below. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants of Splash Awards 2011.  We look forward to seeing you again at Splash Awards 2012!
