Bhubaneshwar (Orissa): Apurv Mishra loves his computer like any schoolboy of his age with glasses on.
However, the glasses that he wears are not meant for wearing when playing a 3-D video game. They are his own invention
His wonder is machine is called ‘Glabenator’ and may empower disabled and paralytic people to see with the glasses like never before.
And the 16-year-old has even got a third rank in the international science and engineering fair in the USA for his invention.
"When the muscles move in this direction, the sensor rod sends the signal to the data transmission section from where the menu can be given commands and even the computer can be operated," says Apurv.
Apurv's award winning equipment will cost less than Rs fifteen hundred. Pilots can also use it as an extra communication tool.
Apurv's parents are of course proud of their son. His father, a civil engineer, is now looking for sponsors.
"It is very important to patent it in America at least, which will require at least Rs six lakh," Apurv’s father, Anup Kumar Mishra says.
Apurv now has plans of making the device affordable and popular for those who need it most.
