There is abundance of beauty in this world but it has problems, problems that could be solved. Some people become cops, work for NGOs, donate charity but we(Gajju and I) tried engineering.
The story began our group Abhinash, Vps, Gajju & I were arguing on the idea of how would a blind and deaf communicate each other. We managed to create crazy ideas but reached to simple solution "Text to Speech & Speech to Text". Avatar(orignal link) was a result of such chit-chat. Basically it was Gajju's idea to develop a technology that would help physically disabled- 'person without arm' to control their PC.
Disabled people constitute 2% our population with various physical disabilities . With such assistive technologies like Avatar at this low cot, these people can have world to grab. They can chat on facebook, hangout on google+, shop online, play computer games. The most important part is its design which barely differs from simple goggle. Most of the designs developed make them feel they are in need of assistance but simple design of Avatar do not make so.
India trains around 5 to 6 lakhs engineers per year. Most of them are recruited by IT and manufacturing companies to develop their products. Supposedly even if 1% of them goes for innovation we could have a better to live. Every act of kindness makes a difference, we engineers could attempt one.
