IIT Techfest 2013: Highlights

As the year kickstarts, students and teachers at IIT Bombay put forth the popular, 3-day tech extravaganza – IIT TechFest 2013. Unlike last year, wherein Robotics stole the show, the IIT Bombay Techfest this year showed us the changing times and how smartphones, tablets and apps are the future of technology, at  least the near future. In fact, robots controlled using mobiles made their presence felt. We also got glimpses of augmented reality and heard some solid tech-talks from Jocelyn Goldfein, Director of Engineering, Facebook and Michael Tiemann , Vice President, Red Hat. Not surprisingly, the Aakash tablet was also displayed at the Techfest, wherein volunteers presented and demoed some dedicated apps that will be ported onto the Aakash 2. Read on to know what caught our attention at the IIT Techfest 2013.
