First Prize at IIT Kanpur's Techkriti

February 21, 2009 · NUIGroup · techkriti · iitk · sparsh multitouch

We got our table running at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur’s annual technical festival- Techkriti, one of the largest ones in India and voila! got First Prize there :)

Number of Teams at the exhibit - 20 Number of Projects that applied - approx 400

A lot of hardware including the whole wooden box setup and the large projector had to be shipped around 300 Kilometers from here- and explaining Multitouch/FTIR/NUIGroup to the audience for 3 long days countless number of times. And that paid off well :) with some moolah raking in, well the first prize got us richer by Rs. 30000/- , enough money to let us by the new Lasers and a couple of cameras for a new multitouch setup.

The team which made a Robotic Hand from Delhi College Of Engineering got the second prize :-) Congratulations to them.
