BIOMEDICAL INNOVATION IN PUNE-S.N.A.P. EYEWRITER FOR PARALYTICS

Here’s something that might have wanted Hrithik Roshan aka Ethan Mascarenhas from Guzaarish to live another day. Well, three students from Sinhagad Institute of Technology (SIT) situated in Lonavala have developed a system which could make the mouse obsolete and come to the aid of quadriplegics and paralytics.

What’s even better, is that the gizmo they have created would cost only Rs 750 if retailed.  Nitesh Prakash, Sumit Kumar and Paras Kumar all third year Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering students of SIT,came up with this system that will use the eye as an interface to point to icons or even write on a screen. This project won them the best lab innovation prize in college as well.
