Taylor’s emerged as a clear front-runner when Team The Goat, comprising Sim Hong Bing, Siew Yue Ying, and Chua Chi Shen, clinched the championship title with Mindspace, an Augmented Reality spatial companion created to support neurodivergent individuals who struggle with executive functioning. Their solution combines mixed-reality passthrough, spatial scanning, and AI-powered item tracking to guide users through everyday organisational tasks. By transforming routines into engaging visual workflows, the project demonstrates how empathetic design and emerging technologies can meaningfully ease mental load and help users reclaim confidence in their daily lives.

The university’s success continued with Team POWERPOINT, comprising Herish Kovalan (Leader), Soh Jing Shuen, Chin Yeat Hoong, and Syed Muhammad Umar Bin Syed Mohd Adeeb, which secured third place with its project, CardioSense. This innovative prototype integrates infrared-based health sensing with Conversational AI to deliver cardiovascular insights in an immersive XR environment. Users are guided through their health results by an AI avatar within a calming and supportive space, an approach intended to reduce the anxiety often associated with clinical assessments. The team’s work highlights how technology can improve health literacy and make wellbeing experiences more approachable for the public.
