Practice at the mirror.

The team built a voice-controlled smart mirror for older adults who rarely use a smartphone. The iPad-based prototype brings the music game to the mirror and can display everyday information such as the weather between sessions.

It started with our grandparents.

When their grandparents found it harder to enjoy favourite foods, two Hong Kong students began exploring how to make tongue exercises more inviting. They combined familiar songs, hand-drawn cues and an AI model they trained for the game.
