We are very proud to announce that both of Chris' nominations won at last night's New Media Innovation awards ceremony. Along with digital creative Jamie Taylor, he picked up the award for the mobile category for their contribution to Noogy. Noogy was a building-size Tamagotchi-style virtual pet that combined 'smart' buildings and mobile phone technologies. The AI and SMS system that provided the basis of his personality was based on an intelligent mobile phone marketing tool that they have been developing called Stanley. The judges described it as "an innovative way in which it used artificial intelligence to receive text information and respond to it".
He was also part of the Cornwall Culture team that picked up the award in the multi-platform category which the judges described as "a great example of using a range of technologies to their fullest potential". Congratulations and well done!

In collaboration with I-DAT, we worked on a project called Noogy. Noogy is a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet that combines a mix of the physical and virtual by incorporating 'smart' buildings and mobile phone technologies into a dynamic building size interactive 'creature'. We provided the SMS interface and the AI that helped formed the basis for Noogy's personality.
A short film is available for viewing here or to learn more about the project, you can visit www.noogy.org
