SINGAPORE: Innovative use of infocomm technology to enhance work and play has won four companies top awards in Singapore.
Given out once every two years, it aims to encourage industry players to get creative in using infocomm technology to design products and services.
For example Activate XGame, the world's first cross-platform multiplayer system, allows users to continue playing multi-player online games while on the move using their mobile phones.
Developed locally, it currently supports five games with three new ones to be launched next year.
"We are launching this game in eight countries in Asia. A lot of telcos are all very excited actually to publicise our game together with us. We are expanding right now to China, Europe, US, liaising with all the telcos there," said Leslie Wou, CEO, Activate Interactive.
A special two-part series on the companies and their winning entries will be aired on Channel NewsAsia on the 12th and 19th of October. - CNA
