The AMMACHI Labs of Amrita University has emerged the winner of the Student Innovation Challenge Award at the IEEE World Haptics Conference 2023 held recently in Delft, Netherlands.
The team that was guided by Shashi Kant Shankar, Assistant Professor at AMMACHI Labs, comprised student interns from various departments, Deepu P.S., Ramakrishnan K., V. Rithin Chand, and Pranav Krishna U.
While the challenge revolved around the theme of virtual connections, the students completed the first phase in their laboratories using Razer headsets equipped with vibrotactile and auditory feedback. The top three teams from the phase advanced to the next that involved a week-long hackathon.
