chillPanda

CHILL-panda is a serious game app that provides a gamified experience of Anxiety Reduction and Mood regulation. Developed through a deep collaboration between a Clinical Psychologist, academics and a Liverpool based computer game and app developer with funding from Innovate UK.

CHILL-panda uses bio-feedback. It captures heart rate and self-rated mood to reflect the user’s emotional state and encourage users to undertake relax-to-win games, mindfulness and breathing activities within a playful environment where users are able to care for and interact with a cute avatar CHILL-panda. CHILL-panda is expressive and able to reflect and influence the users’ moods.

CGA Simulation

We use Computer Game Technologies to visualise and solve problems from the real world.
We are a Liverpool based company with offices at Toxteth TV.

We examined how mission planning algorithms can be developed through the use of simulators and machine learning.

We developed a simulation of a small town traffic network and created an anomaly analyser driven by machine learning that is able to identify suspicious behaviour.

The Gamma programme was a collaboration between eight industry and academic partners: North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA), BAE Systems, Universities of Manchester, Lancaster, Salford, Liverpool, UCLAN, Liverpool (including the Virtual Engineering Centre), National Nuclear Laboratories Limited. The Programme has also been supported by Lancashire County Council.
