Year 2025 is a fun year.
People enjoy themselves by sharing what they have through games and all their smart devices.
3 games for 3 generations
LIFE IS JOY is a scenario of 3 games for 3 persons of different ages. the objective of each of these games is to share. Each person shares something different: knowledge, goods or emotions. Each game has its own smart IoT device that allows the sharing. We all are different in age, values and likes but we all share. IoT and gamification make it easier and funnier. So, what do you share?
