@iitagne@iitdelhi Points made by Partha Ghosh - need to celebrate success and risk taking leadership, taking steps into the unknown! Young Indian students at the beginning of their education need to be mentored to solve large problems and not just be back room players for large corporations.
@iitagne@iitdelhi Need funding for Raised Lines Foundation (textbooks) and provide DotBook to 200 technical educatio students, OnBoard trial with 100s of users. ASSISTECH goal: touch 1Million lives by 2022!
@iitagne@iitdelhi Seven key people work at ASSISTECH with Prof.Balakrishnan, including a Rhodes Scholar. Many undergraduate projects solve problems and then translated to PhD projects.
@iitagne@iitdelhi Scale up of good solutions for Visually Impaired is a hard problem! Social sector is dominated by charities which makes it hard for young technologists to make a future.
@iitagne@iitdelhi Unstructured environment and low cost requirements (extreme affordability) with large volumes force evolution of hardware and software technologies. But there is no organized marketplace and list of visually impaired users. NGOs play a major role, but infrastructure is weak.
@iitagne@iitdelhi Indoor Navigation (IncluNAV), which identifies walking areas and key landmarks integrating mobile app & bluetooth beacons for path planning, with multi-lingual user interface, is being tested at AIIMS Delhi Opthalmic Center.
@iitagne@iitdelhi Artificial Intelligence based systems on Raspberry pi now being developed for visually impaired- MAVI mobile assistant for mobile object detection and face or multilingual signboard detection. Reading assistance (RAVI) for digital documents (PDF) and textbooks in progress.
