Comments from the Judges...

Wii Care
"This project probes the possibilities found in the Wii-elderly interaction. The problem statement points out the pertinent issue of the loss of connectivity within in a otherwise hyper-connected society. I enjoyed the thorough exploration and depth in this solution. Very solid presentation, great sketches." - Collin Farill, Big Bang

Shall Wii Dance
"ShallWiiDance takes an activity that is pretty popular with an older audience, and makes it more danceable and age-appropriate than games like Dance Dance Revolution. Plus you can see more that could be done with motion-capture." - Maureen Carroll, Creature LLC

Wii Travel
"The sense of adventure and stimulation this provides should encourage users, while educating them and helping them feel connected. Especially good for those who are restricted to a bed or have limited opportunity to leave the house." - Wesley Barker, Clarity

Comments from the Judges...

"I was impressed by the number of students who put so much time and thought into this 24 hour challenge over a weekend."

"I think the winning entries managed to elegantly solve real problems that everyone can relate to, and I was encouraged to see many other entires that acknowledged the need to rethink the way the take-out system works overall. Great job!"

Carie Davis, Global Design Manager - The Coca-Cola Company

"The pizza box solution is completely do-able within existing product parameters. It recognizes that the pizza box has usage beyond delivery, and allows the user to easily reconfigure the box for its afterlife of storing leftovers – without stealing all the fridge space!"

"The sushi tray and ketchup caddie also do a good job of recognizing user issues that we all have experienced with existing to-go packaging, and then addressing them with simple solutions."

"Though many of the students tried to address the issues of packaging waste, we are still waiting for that break-through solution that will make food packaging truly sustainable!"

Maureen Carroll, Principle - Creature LLC

"Fitting a large pizza box into a small refrigerator is a dilemma that we can all relate to. This concept potentially solves the problem of space management while creating a new product (pizza plates) with the wasted packaging."

"Many grocery stores in our area now carry fresh sushi. The packaging concept thought through some of the key challenges associated with eating sushi on the go."

"Fast food on the go is here to stay. So how do I dip my French fries or onion rings while driving to the job interview? This concept presented a clever way of keeping the dipping sauce near the source."

Paul Spitale, Marketing Manager for Food & Beverage - MeadWestvaco
