Imagine being able to see your illness? Travelling through your own body to see the problem area. Dr John McGhee from UNSW Art and Design is helping stroke patients at Sydney’s St Vincent’s Hospital come to terms with their diagnosis using 3D techniques normally employed in the games industry. Doctors say it makes a huge difference not having to explain conventional scan images which are usually difficult for the patient to grasp.

Children with respiratory problems until now have been faced with dragging around a large and unwieldy oxygen tank. But a new award-winning innovation by an Australian design student will change all that. Roam is a lightweight oxygen cylinder that was developed for a design project at UNSW Australia. It has since won two international design awards and received seed funding to get it into production.

Ten finalists from UNSW's Media Portfolio course compete in a battle of pitches to industry professionals. Who will be king of the corporate jungle?
