Category: Project Showcasing

Every year, Bangladesh Association of Software and
Information Services (BASIS) organizes the largest and the most ambitious tech
exposition in Bangladesh. Being the largest national software, IT and ITES exposition, BASIS SoftExpo
promises to showcase the latest and the most innovative solutions the tech industry has to
offer to both corporate and individual end-users. Its main aim is to highlight
the successes of private sector IT and tech based organizations and to promote the local
industry both nationally and internationally. Additionally, Project Showcasing, being a major hub
where innovators and solution seekers collide, the SoftExpo is also a place where various
noteworthy projects receive a platform to be showcased. This presents a crucial opportunity
for Industry-Academia collaboration, where students, academics, and researchers can showcase
their projects which could potentially turn into real business prospects.
The aim of the project was to develop a sensor-based wearable prototype for facilitating
mouse cursor movement and mouse clicks using head rotations and eye winks,
respectively, allowing people with stroke-induced upper limb disabilities to interact with a
computer. (Project Demo Video)
