Over the past 2 days, 40+ of our top-performing students have been working very hard on a one-of-a-kind challenge: Create an audio-focused game in less than 48 hours.
8 student groups from 6+ very diverse disciplines within the university (IT, Engineering, Music and Sound Design, Games Dev, Computer Science, etc) have been competing for 3 unique audio-related award categories.
…And the winners of the night are:
University of Technology Sydney researchers are exploring a new concept in exergaming where the game and exercise occur separately to encourage physical activity in seniors.
Exergaming is a form of physical activity that combines exercise and video games.
Project Elaine (Elderly, AI and New Experience) is trialling the exergame Solitaire Fitness Edition with 10 independent-living seniors.
Come celebrate the new year with us and let loose with those game design and development skills! In March 2020, the UTS Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology will be hosting the "Audio First" Student Game Jam (Summer 2020).
This two day event is chance for students to let their creativity run wild and create a game from scratch. No grades, no job expectations – just a chance to have fun, meet new people, learn new skills!

We are very excited to announce that the FEIT Prototype Exhibition (Spring 2019) was an absolute success. The event saw +200 guests from the UTS community (staff, students, alumni), industry partners, research partners, family, friends, and the general public.
100+ students from 10 different project-based subjects presented 32 amazing prototypes that included, but were not limited to: video games, software solutions, interactive media apps, cultural kits, to name a few. Attendees had the chance to interact with our top-performing students, see their fabulous prototypes, and more importantly, helped us judge the best student prototypes of the evening.
And the winners are...
