AUUG

Make music through motion
The AUUG Motion Synth is a hardware/app combination that transforms your iPhone or iPod touch into a motion-based musical instrument. It allows first-time musicians to enjoy an expressive experience of playing music within minutes rather than months of practice time, and provides professional musicians with a deeper level of interaction with their sounds and connection with their audience. It has already been seen by millions of people worldwide due to its inclusion in Apple's international TV ad campaign from mid 2014: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODmfmUWqlSA.

JOSHUA YOUNG | Founder, AUUG

Prior to founding AUUG, Joshua Young’s neuroscience research led him to Berlin. Coming into contact with Berlin’s vibrant electronic music scene, he became frustrated by the lack of physical connection between these musicians and the sounds they were creating. This frustration inspired him to start tearing apart old music hardware to build interfaces that would give electronic musicians a more physical and expressive way of shaping their sounds, that would be more compelling for both them and their audience. This process ultimately lead to the form-factor of the Motion Synth, which Joshua publicly launched via crowdfunding in December 2013.

Clevertar Logo

Clevertar

Clever avatars for innovative aged care
Clevertar is a Flinders University spin-out company that is pioneering the use of relational agents, or ‘clever avatars’ as personal assistants. Research has found that when people interact with an intelligent, talking character, they take notice of the information given, understand it better, and are more likely to respond favourably. ‘Clever avatars’ are therefore behaviour-changing and a potentially revolutionary computer interface. Clevertar’s first product is a virtual personal assistant for older people, to help service providers and families support people to remain independent. This is currently in trial at two Adelaide service providers.

Proximity platform for mobile apps
The GeoMoby platform is a geofencing based messaging system that enables developers and businesses to interact and learn from their mobile users. Our cloud-based platform relies upon a plugin being installed into an existing or new mobile application in order to extract anonymous location data. When a GeoMoby powered phone enters a geofence (a virtual boundary around a geographical location), it reports back to the cloud and our rules-engine determines if it's appropriate to send the mobile user a message or send a request to a server. It can be anything from coupons, automatic payments to tourist information. Any time and anywhere.

First, we'll help drivers cut the 20% that is wasted on fuel through poor driving styles.

Next we're targeting insurance, (where safe drivers currently subsidize poor ones), and servicing (where mechanics currently hold all the cards).

Our approach will be fun and engaging and we hope to save lives as well as dollars.

Unlike almost all systems currently available, Intelligent Fleet Logistics is easily tailored to handle the constraints that apply to individual organisations. Eg, rules governing fatigue management, or determining whether goods are best routed direct or via intermediate depots, Intelligent Fleet Logistics can help plan to send the right vehicle, or asset to the right place at the right time. This maximises labour and asset utilisation, while focusing on profit optimisation.

LEAPIN Digital Keys

A smartphone enabled access control system
LEAPIN has built a smartphone enabled access control system. The system is sometimes referred to as a smartlock or a digital keys system or smartphone keys or a controlled lock. LEAPIN’s system performs all the same functionalities of typical time-controlled keycard systems (RFID and mag-stripe) but without any supporting on-site network infrastructure. Therefore it can be delivered for around one-tenth of the price of existing keycard systems. LEAPIN systems can be installed in hospitality (Hotels, Resorts etc.) offices, people’s homes, and public institutions such as Universities. As LEAPIN is a standalone system it can also be installed in environments where keycard systems can’t typically go – such as car rentals, sporting facilities, and lockers/furniture (e.g. where there is no onsite power).
