Photo 11 Mar Yesterday we presented our working prototype of the Microsoft Surface Zest-it application to the NCR jury.  Unfortunately, I was flying back from Berlin in the morning and missed the dragon’s den.  Fortunately, I made it just in time for the awards ceremony! And the winner is…….. Team Zest-it!  The jury felt that our team’s simple yet highly collaborative and innovative design should take the first prize.  They especially liked seeing the new gestures we had incorporated, the thoughtfulness of the features, and the interdisciplinary mix of the team. We walked away a happy bunch- with 1000 pounds and certificates in hand! I will post some footage of the prototype soon. Could Zest-it be the future of post-it noting?!  We shall see. Check out Kate Saunderson’s blog post on the making Zest-it.
