PandaBoard- All thanks to Texas Instruments

Yes!!! Now we have with us the power of PandaBoard and all thanks to Texas Instruments for providing us the board for our project and guess what..it's sponsored by them.

After half an hour long conference with Vikas Joshi representing TI, he sent to us PandaBoard which will give a special edge to our project. We have already installed Ubuntu OS image on it and we are heading towards our next step to complete Phase I of the project.

About viSparsh

The word 'viSparsh' is a conglomeration of two words namely vision (Vis) & Touch (Sparsh) which truly depict the purpose of our project which is to aid the visually impaired people through the sense of Touch. We think 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. The aim of the project is to develop a Haptic Belt for visually impaired where the initial technical efforts need to be taken to develop some relatively low-cost technology projects and integrating them into a socially useful application. The project would be one of its kind in India considering the fact where plethora of technological products are already present, only a few actually create an impact needed for the Indian Society. Our aim is to build a state of the art, easy to use, customized version for the Indian Market. Final product won't only be a navigating device but also a multi-functional utility product.
