Anuj Malviya and Josh Elias Joy, M.Tech Product Design and Management and Akshay Phate, M.Tech CSE student who graduated in 2023 won 2nd place in Autodesk Instructables, Student Game Design Challenge, for their project Jumpfit (Wearable Joystick) which was done as a part of the Wearables System Design Course at IIIT Hyderabad under the mentorship of Dr. Raghu Reddy.

The team designed a wearable gaming system to motivate people to exercise and also have fun at the same time. As for the game, they drew inspiration from the google chrome dino game, but the catch here is that you have to jump in real life to play the game. To make things more competitive and fun, the students  made it a multiplayer game.
