Do you have great ideas as well as ability to turn them to a tool concept and a demo application how to support relay life cycle solution assessment based on customer value judgement?

We are looking for new and fresh ideas to utilize 3D terrain visualization for location based services. The aim is at web applications for mobile devices.

Tampere region is designing next generation of regional foresight activities and portal. In this project you will take part in this active development by bringing in your fresh ideas about how to renew foresight work with novel approaches like citizen involvement, gamification, open data and crowdsourcing.

The goal of the project is to re-design existing joint of crusher frame and/or find totally new solutions compared to existing design. The target joint is very challenging from engineering point of view.

A new social title inspired by the classic game Battleships has the potential to be a mass-market cross-platform hit. The team's task is to imagine the game concept and deliver a playable prototype to "prove" that it works.

Metso Mining and Construction widely uses self-made BRUNO simulation software for crushing and screening process design. The main function of the software is to calculate technical results. According to the results the user iterates and finds the best process combination. The current results are not enough for proper process evaluation from financial point of view.

The basic idea it to develop a game-like user interface for measuring or detecting an apartments’ or buildings’ energy usage. People are now able to see their consumption figures in real time, but unfortunately they see graphs and figures only. For some, numeric figures and diagrams alone are boring. Those are normally for technical people and diagrams do not tempt you to compete or save energy.

Social Devices is a concept where consumer electronics devices interact with other devices autonomously, without initiation from the human user. Devices can interact in computer-to-computer style, e.g. sharing data and other information, or they can interact more human-to-human style by e.g. talking, singing and dancing.

Acting devices is an experiment to create a scripted interaction for devices.

HTML5 is starting to be universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases even exclusively. This makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across platforms. Mobile and tablet browsers have gradually getting hardware-accelerated features which makes building platform independent graphics intensive user interfaces possible.

The human-pet interaction is a rapidly growing area of the CHI research. While the technologies supporting interaction with pets are still rare, the market is big. For instance, new technologies could support dog owners in following the activities of a lonely pet, relieving dog’s separation anxiety or finding new ways to play.

The goal of the project is to visualize accurate energy consumption data and develop new energy saving services for an exsisting platform of Gurux. The necessary technology is provided by project partners. The equipment will be installed in one or more public buildings in Tampere and the team will work with the building maintaners as well as Gurux representative to develop the system.

Pikku kakkonen is the number one TV brand for children in Finland. It's website has grown steadily for the past few years, currently being used by over 150.000 households each month. But the website is already five years old and is being updated. Technically the update will focus on Magicast, our interactive audiovisual content management technology, allowing a wider range of content possibilities.

Metso Mining and Construction has an invention related to conveyor design. For further development a small prototype is needed. 

Project goal is to build one or two small (about in scale 1:10) prototype conveyors and assure that the idea is useful and practicable. The prototype should run like real conveyor but material fraction to be transported is finer than normal. During the project some modifications and versions might be needed.

With SportOnline services, sport clubs and their teams can produce more information without extra work. SportOnline is a Start-Up company developing cloud-based application services.  As our first project, SportOnline has developed a new concept for youth team sport management. We have created web-based tools to minimize manual paperwork by automating routine processes. In the SportOnline system, information is stored into databases instead of mailboxes, spreadsheets and papers.  Structured information management enables efficient data sharing via reports, web-sites, etc.

Bofori is a transmedial children concept, that started as a TV game show and an online game in fall 2011. It is targeted for schoolchildren, aged 7-12. The online game plays an integral role in the overall concept, having more than 30.000 registered players after three months of existence. It is all about being an agent and solving crimes in the sci-fi city of Bofori.

The music world is in turmoil. The distribution of music is quickly turning digital and web-based and the power of traditional big record companies is weakening.

Windows Phone 7 has just landed in Finland, and the interest towards the platform has been rising steadily. WP7 marketplace is still quite empty, and breaking through with the next great concept is just waiting behind the corner. This Demola Academy project aims to make the greatest smart application in WP7 marketplace. What it is, is up to you!

This time you would be working for yourself by developing your own app to be published for business and reference use!

We are developing a running technique analysis tool. We need a simple and desciptive, easy to adopt way to visualize how a person is running. The ideal implementation shows an animated running figure which can be parameterized in various ways. The anatomy and physiological limitations of human body should be as close to real as possible.
