Multimedia student finds right pitch for 'serious games challenge'
Published on 17 May, 2012
Congratulations to CQUniversity Multimedia student Jason Craddock who has reached the finals of the 'Serious Games Challenge', in conjunction with simulation training conference SimTecT'2012, scheduled for mid-June.
Jason has developed a prototype mobile device application which enables people to test and improve their musical pitch recognition.
The Intonation Realisation 'app' was developed during his study of 'DGTL13002 - Mobile Application Development', as a distance education student based in Sydney. Jason got the idea for the app from his passion for music and attending adult musicianship classes, run by Sydney Musicologist and Piano Teacher Ms Susan Deas.
Jason says he is looking forward to heading to Adelaide for the SimTecT conference, demonstrating his app, as well as partaking in networking and "schmoozing" with other students and developers.
SimTecT2012 is the Asia Pacific Simulation Training Conference and Exhibition held by Simulation Australia since its inception in 1996.
It has grown to become Australasia's premier simulation conference for industry, government and academia. The conference currently attracts over 450 attendees annually with 15% being international delegates.
SimTecT attracts delegates from defence, education, emergency management, manufacturing, resources and infrastructure, and transportation.
