Liaison is a platformer game that incorporates both action and puzzle elements to tell the story of true friendship between a boy named Lug and his dog, Savior. Players have the ability to control both, each with specific abilities that complement the other. Liaison also introduces

"double-edged" game mechanics based on light and darkness.

Puppy in Bubble is a Windows Phone physics puzzle game where players control Spout, a naughty puppy that likes getting lost from his owner, Adam. Using fans and flippers, players maneuver Spout in a bubble around a room to collect all of the dog treats.

Anarcute is a fast-paced, real time strategy game, where players lead dozens of extremely cute demonstrators into riot. With puzzle and complex gameplay elements, gamers have to select the optimal path for rioters to reach police headquarters in the city.

As a novel game of skill, Mr. Skyjump provides a fun and interactive experience. Available as a multi-device game, Mr. Skyjump enables the user to play with friends via social networks and pick up where they left off on any device.

Dementia: Tales of Blackthorn Manor is an online turn-based RPG in a horror setting. Players select one of twelve mysterious characters to explore "The Blackthorn Manor” - a house filled with deadly secrets.

The layout and mysteries are different every time someone ventures into it, so gamers never play the same game twice.

Petite is an ambient game about the life of a woman, focusing on several key moments that happen along the way. Each one of the 42 levels presents a new situation as the woman grows from childhood, to teenager and finally adulthood.

Access Earth is a mobile app that provides users who are impaired by mobility to navigate through areas in any city. The app gathers information about the area where the user wants to go and tells exactly how accessible the area is with lifts or ramps in order for the user to move around the destination.

The CATARA solution detects early signs of cataracts in people via a smartphone with a HD camera. Users are able to transmit diagnostic information to a cloud-based service, omitting the need for a medical professional and introducing personal check-ups until cataracts are in fact, detected.

Project Auditory Modified Perception (AMP) is designed to replace expensive hearing aids with a Windows Phone and Bluetooth headset.

AMP also incorporates Auditory Brainstem Response for infants as well as a management system for medical professionals.

Without the use of a keyboard or mouse, Face Controller allows users to control a computer by head movements, facial expressions or voice commands. For people with mobile disabilities, this solution removes barriers and enables the use of computers.

With the use of hardware and software, the Nuada system tracks hand functionality for those who suffer from lack of strength in their hand muscles. The device has sensors, which gather helpful information for medical professionals to increase mobility.

Aimed at helping autistic children with enhancing their learning process and human interaction, a robot mimics the child’s movements or the teacher’s gestures. By introducing this learning tool, children work on communication skills and improve their experience in and outside the classroom. sMilestone assists those who have suffered from strokes, brain tumors or head injuries that resulted in losing the ability to speak due to muscle function. The solution focuses on rehabilitation with a stress free and entertaining concept.
