Dream IT wins Project B Challenge with augmented-reality app Siemie and Koko
Siemie & Koko
The winning team Dream IT' (consisting of Daisy Ambaum, Germaine op de Kamp, Luc Drissen, Menno Sijben and Nick Knoops) invented an application for smartphones and tablets to take away children's fear of hospitals. Using augmented reality, the app shows fantasy figures throughout the hospital. These figures are called Siemie and Koko and show up at markers that are spread throughout the hospital. Children can also play with Siemie and Koko when they're still recovering.
