A mobile app that enables you to control your laptop and desktop devices. A retail payment system, connected to your bank account, which uses your finger print to make payments. These were among winning projects presented by students at Unysis’ Technical Project Contest, Cloud 20/20 version 5.0, on Thursday.
IPay has been designed by group of engineering students of Bangalore-based Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology. Explaining the concept, Team Member Pruthvi B Setty said: “Our payment system cuts the hassles of standing in long queues. Before any payment is made, a unique five digit ID is generated every time also providing safety against credit fraud.
IIT (BHU) Varanasi’s Vineet Kumar and Akash Singh’s mobile app helps control laptops and desktop devices using Bluetooth, Wi-fi to take control over hardware and software. “This is a unique device that can be used across all operating systems,” Vineet said.
