  • Programming/Development Environment Category Nominee (1)

    A revolutionary open technology that pioneered a new game design "Kinect for Windows/Xbox 360 Kinect"Development Team （Microsoft Corporation）

    Reason for nomination

    A forerunner of natural user interface, the technology has served as a catalyst for various new game designs.
    The team deserves recognition for its development expertise to bring to the market a superior product package that includes a cutting-edge software technology that recognizes human posture in real-time and a voice recognition technology.
    By disclosing details of the technology through academic societies and providing SDK that can easily be used by anyone in Kinect for Windows, the technology has had a tremendous influence on developers and researchers from a wide range of fields.
    But most of all, the team deserves praise for propagating the new interface.

  • Programming/Development Environment Category Nominee (2)

    Online element that merges next-generation graphics with the Web"Battlefield 3" Development Team（Electronic Arts Inc.）

    Reason for nomination

    Noteworthy is the graphics expression that is of a whole new dimension. Equally impressive is the installation that has been optimized to maintain the same level of quality between hardware of varying architecture such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 within their respective constraints.
    At the same time, the tile-base writing employed for Frostbite opened the way for a new technology whose research is sure to progress in the future.
    The team also pushed the envelope in areas other than graphics, such as by using a Web client for on-line matching.
