Living, Moving, Connecting

Results

Here you can see the ideas and concepts the five different teams came up with during the 24 hours the challenge lasted. They held these presentations at the second day of the conference.

 

And the winners are...    
An electronic screen "Chalk", inspired by the traditional blackboard, won the prize for best concept. "Chalk" can be connected to wireless devices such as a mobile phone to provide a more user-friendly and larger screen for receiving and writing text messages for instance.  The team behind this innovative concept was Team Norway I led by Leif Isachsen from KODE Design.
