2 Researchers from Hyderabad part of 20 young innovators

Two young Hyderabad innovators — Anthony Vipin Das of LV Prasad Eye Institute and Hemanth Kumar Satyanarayana of Imaginate Software Labs — have been chosen to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Technology Review’s India TR35 list of young Technology Innovators under 35 for 2012.

They will present their innovation to an audience of 500 innovators, including six outstanding scientists and researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at the fourth emerging technologies conference of MIT Technology Review’s, EmTech India, starting March 27 at Banaglore, a release said here today. The release said Anthony Vipin Das, created an application for digitizing medical records at Hyderabad’s LV Prasad Eye Institute, (LVPEI), one of the India’s largest eye hospitals that has treated over 13 million patients till date. Getting information about a particular patient instantly at the hospital is paramount. Written records at a single center are not only difficult for the doctor to access, but also cumbersome for the patient to carry for each visit.

This is where eyeSmart, a Web-based application for retrieval of patient records comes in. Apparel shopping in store or on the Internet continues to be a growing industry with time. But Hyderabad based Hemanth Kumar Satyanarayana of Imaginate Software Labs found that the experience of an average customer in apparel stores isn’t as pleasant as it was a few years ago, with increasing footfalls. With shortage of space and no scope for expansion, demand for trial rooms has increased and trial room management by the store owner has become even more difficult and demanding. Hemanth Satyanarayana came up with a technology alternative to the physical trial room, in the form of an augmented reality enabled ‘virtual trial room’ experience. Called Trialar, his innovation is a digital interactive platform that helps shoppers try out clothes and accessories instantaneously, virtually, and seamlessly. It is an augmented reality enabled digital trial room which can be installed in brick and mortar apparel stores. While its integrated analytics platform helps the retailers to understand the customer preferences better, its digital catalogue and analytics engine for guidance help the shopper mix and match apparel and accessories and compare multiple items simultaneously, the release added.
