Frenemies and All@1MC - I'm proud of you!

Two groups I was guiding in Software Product workshop at the Academic College of Tel-Aviv-Yaffo won places #1 ("Frenemies") and #4 (All@1MC) out of 70 projects (all in very high level).

Frenemies, created by Oron Perahia, Chen Saranga, Anat Oren and Shachar Witkovsky, is a fully fledged Laser Tag system, including all the goodies a company that wants to run a Laser Tag arena would need, from the web site for registering to a game (buying a game) to the management of the site and the fighting scene itself, hardware and software.
Won #1.



All@1MC, created by Yael Hof, is a Client-Agent Media Center application for your Android mobile phone to serve as a very smart remote control for the PC which serves as your media center. The application allows your mobile to view the list of movies and pictures you have on your PC, start playing them on your TV via selection on your mobile, sending instructions to the media center PC via the home WiFi network, with an agent running on the media center PC. You can also get more details on the mobile before or while watching the movie, download content from the web (again, the mobile serves as a smart remote control, all operations are done on the mobile device, the actual download is happening on the media center PC) and watching a slideshow of your pictures on the TV, controlling the slideshow from the mobile.
Won #4.
