Surviving climate change- Air and AIR-INK

90% of the Earth's population is exposed to polluted air i.e. 9 out of 10 people breathe unhealthy air. The implications are absolutely clear. Urban areas, especially metropolises, are the worst affected.  ◾ Life in a Gas Chamber “I'm getting out of here one of these days,” said a resident of Mexico City. “The ecologists are right. We live in a gas chamber.” For several years, Mexico city topped the list of the most polluted capitals, thus prompting writer Carlod Fuentes to nickname the city as “Makesicko City.” Mexico's problems are an indication of a general dilemma around the globe.  ◾ Rajdhaani becomes Badshah The city of New Delhi has now replaced Mexico City as the most polluted capital in the world. Air pollution is the fifth largest killer in India, estimated to kill 1.5 million people annually. Air quality in Delhi has been the worst since 1999. The main reasons behind this soaring pollution: 1. Traffic Menace: The Central Pollution Control

InnoVision- Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a type of interactive, reality-based display environment that takes the capabilities of computer generated display, sound, text and effects to enhance the user's real-world experience. Augmented reality combines real and computer-based scenes and images to deliver a unified but enhanced view of the world. Also It's easy to confuse augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The easy way to think of AR is as an overlay on top of what's actually happening. It's not a pretend world or a total escape - it's an enhanced version of real life. Human beings are visual creatures. Studies conducted by 3M have found that humans process visuals 60,000 times faster than text. This makes users engage with visual data more than any other form of data, including textual data.This is what is helping AR become so huge so fast. A few years ago Pokémon Go took the entire world by storm that's the most well-known application of Augmented realit

INNOVISION Biochips- Microbiology getaway

Technological advances have affected all aspects of modern day life and continue to offer exceptional benefits that were once considered unrealistic. Clinical chemistry is the latest sphere of this technological revolution that introduced us to the world of biochips .A biochip is a miniscule electronic device, no bigger than a grain of rice, which is inserted by means of an injection or surgically implanted in the body. Biochips are essentially miniaturized laboratories that can perform hundreds or thousands of simultaneous biochemical reactions. Biochips enable researchers to quickly screen large numbers of biological analytes for a variety of purposes, from disease diagnosis to detection of bioterrorism agents.The chip technology is already used for the identification of dogs and cats and it has been widely accepted for this purpose. Biochip technologies can be applied to numerous fields including genomic, proteomic, and glycomic research, as well as pharmacology and toxicology
