A team of four Swinburne Multimedia graduates, who now operate as Opaque Multimedia, won US $50,000 as part of the World Citizenship Award to continue developing their software.

The group, which includes Liam McGuire, James Bonner, Chris Mackenzie and Norman Wang, beat teams around the world after they were able to demonstrate how their Virtual Dementia Experience (VDE) can simulate the effects of ageing and dementia.
