What inventions are students or former students of MIT India producing? Is India now inventing rather than just building?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

What are the companies working to bring products to market using open source sixth sense technology?
According to tech.slashdot.org, "Pranav Mistry, the brain behind the innovative "SixthSense" application demoed earlier this year, plans to open source the technology in order to get this to the streets faster."

When did Pranav Mistry arrive at MIT? What was his major? What is Pranav Mistry future plans?
MIT India was established in 2010, so it won't have any former students. MIT India impact will probably be felt around 2020, as it transforms from building to inventing. Until then lets continue discussing modern Indian Inventors Pranav Mistry
Madras Institute of Technology is MIT India
MIT is Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
I guess people are getting confused over there.
India is a developing country. Not much developments there I have seen as of now.

India’s software industry cannot gain legitimacy without a homegrown, on-demand software-as-a-service technology. SaaS offers right size service for business rather than on-premise applications. SaaS monitors current use, instead of future capacity and feature enhancement for reoccurring revenue sales. US firms plan to spend 25% of their IT budget on SaaS applications. India needs to leverage the SaaS wave. Convert is a India SaaS company. Is India in an Outsourcing crisis because of a shortage of trained talent?
I'll take answers for Madras Institute of Technology or Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The question is not as important as the responses. The dialogue is self-developing into the important issues on India creativity and innovation vision.
If India is going to be a superpower in 10 years, it must create new products and sale them on the world market.
How do rank India Engineers in terms of talent and skill in electronics and advanced math?
Will India Innovation triple their GDP in the next ten years?
Thats right. Prinav Mistry is an absolute genius. The TED host told him his Sixth Sense wearable gestural interface was already among the best three inventions in the world right now.
I liked the phone reflecting on hand and the sheet of paper drawing features.
What is tele-ophthalmology and why is it an important innovation?
Ashish Bhat, its inventor, thinks the Carbon quadrotor could be used for anti-terrorist operations, counter-insurgency (or COIN), hostage rescue, border monitoring, law enforcement daily operations, SAR operations or aerial photography among other scenarios.
The vehicle works with an intuitive point and click graphical user interface that requires minimal user assistance. It also uses GPS for navegation and gyro stabilisation that feeds an auto-pilot controller. The aerial vehicle weights 1.5 kilograms, has a range of 1 kilometer, uses Li- Poly batteries (Lithium Polymer), and it can fly up to 30 minutes.
What are the capabilities of the quadrotor?
What are the potential applications that the quadrotor could be applied too?
Prinav said the device is about $300 worth of electronics and could rival the $20,000 digital tables on the market. The Sixth sense makes display any flat surface in the physical world.
Yes, that's right. Poor does not mean dumb. They are one of the smartest people in the planet, now that India is traveling the development road, many students in that country are experiencing the availability and reach of Innovation and technology.
People are not interested in computing. We are interested in information, the dynamic things that are going on around us.
Systems that bring part of the physical world into the digital world will be popular.
Oh! I'm sorry for the late response. Glad you like my Answer.
Yes, India ranks highly in electronic engineering and math. India has about 1,700 engineering educational institutions and two million students. The number of graduates per year is 400,000. So, the numbers don´t lie. They are one of the three countries with more engineers graduates per year.
As for tele-ophthalmology, it is a new area explored by this tele-medicine software, the first of its kind in the world. Basically what this software does is scanning over the mobile iPhone all infants who live in rural and semi-urban regions for a potentially blinding condition known as Retinopathy of Prematurity also known as ROP.
The disease is the primary cause of preventable infant blindness around the world. ROP is a disease that affects the retina, which is the most sensitive part of the eye, and can cause permanent or complete blindness if it is not diagnosed early and treated appropriately. To predict which babies will develop the disease and which infants will escape have always been a problem.
Scarcity of ophthalmologic care in poor, remote rural areas, lack of communication and transport facilities, has made it difficult for people in third world regions of the world to get an early diagnosis and treatment of eye disease.
Now, a surgeons could use the iPhones to screen for ROP, they can download the images and enlarge them using the iPhone’s graphics capabilities to determine whether the baby needs immediate help. The inventor of the software chose the iPhone because it provides many advantages, like real time viewing of lossless digital images of eyes anywhere and anytime, remote screening capability and expert consultation for ophthalmic diseases; also because the iPhone's rapid selection menu, faster data transmission, higher image quality, minimum storage space, low operating cost, and its pinch and drag feature.
India has been a country of innovation. In the book F.A.B 2.0, India for rural areas were fabricating tools, devices, and techniques to solve problems; the insight and intelligence matched well education engineers in the US for problem solving. Poor does not mean stupid. Innovation and technology connect poor intelligent indians to the vast resources of a wealthy nation reducing the cost to provide care.
