The judges said

"This award was open to international entries but the most innovative and exciting new digital technology the judges saw was developed right here in the North West. It takes existing technologies and applies them to create a completely new user experience. And it’s been designed to form the basis of a range of products."

Entrant's description

jOG is the ground breaking add-on controller for the Wii that detects lower body motion and brings a whole new dimension to your living room gaming experience. It lets you control your game character movement by jOGing on the spot. Simply plug it in and clip it to your belt and you are ready to start playing your games in a new, exciting and active way. jOG is fun, immersive, healthy, great value, easy to use and compatible with all existing video games that use the Nunchuk joystick to control game character movement.
