What's in the name ...

After considering various options we had earlier come out with 'viSparsh' as the name of our project. This word has been coined by our team. It is a conglomeration of two words namely vision (Vis) & Touch (Sparsh). We felt the name ViSparsh truly depicted the purpose of our project which was to aid the visually impaired people through the sense of Touch. We also thought this as an apt name for our team too whereby the same word would signify our team's aim of touching the lives of several people through our vision. 

Since we have also built a small lab for the first time at YIF we thought of giving it a name too. One of our fellows (Mr. Balaji) helped us in searching a name and we all finally agreed on 'e-Capsule Lab' as the name of our laboratory. The reason for this were manifolds. Firstly, the size of the lab was that of a capsule. Secondly, 'e' would signify electronics in the word 'e-capsule'. Thirdly, we aim to make electronic solutions for the society with the same aim as capsules are made in the medicine field for the betterment of mankind. Thus, we thought this name to be apt for our lab. We hope that future students of YIF would carry forward the name and build great solutions under this lab that would help our society in path-breaking ways.
