Hyderabad: Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao has lauded the efforts of MLRIT youngsters for making an inexpensive 3D printed face-vsior for the frontine warriors to combat the deadly Corona virus.
KTR has instructed the authorities to study the possibilities and efficacy of these solutions and provide necessary support to scale these solutions on an immediate basis.
BridgeThings IoT Hyderabad startup incubated at Marri Laxman Reddy Incubation center has developed a low cost cloud based, wireless UVC sanitization solution. The shields are made of clear materials and have a shape similar to a welder’s mask. These shields will function as an extra protection for their face mask.
