that immediate result impulse we wanted
that immediate result impulse we wanted to do only one thing to create and
to do only one thing to create and
to do only one thing to create and generate knowledge so we took a risk but
generate knowledge so we took a risk but
generate knowledge so we took a risk but you know this was also the classic and
you know this was also the classic and
you know this was also the classic and ultimate academic dream so you know just
ultimate academic dream so you know just
ultimate academic dream so you know just to give you an idea this is what we did
so this is using augmented reality and
so this is using augmented reality and machine learning techniques to
machine learning techniques to
machine learning techniques to understand sign language
this is using augmented and virtual
this is using augmented and virtual reality based techniques to create
reality based techniques to create
reality based techniques to create interactive games for children and this
interactive games for children and this
interactive games for children and this person here is actually using hand
person here is actually using hand
person here is actually using hand gesture based remote control system for
gesture based remote control system for
gesture based remote control system for hospital patients and this is a virtual
hospital patients and this is a virtual
hospital patients and this is a virtual reality based collaboration system this
reality based collaboration system this
reality based collaboration system this is where the humanities guys and girls
is where the humanities guys and girls
is where the humanities guys and girls collaborated with the tech guys so they
collaborated with the tech guys so they
collaborated with the tech guys so they extracted the data using data mining
extracted the data using data mining
extracted the data using data mining techniques from various news reports or
techniques from various news reports or
techniques from various news reports or various English newspapers of Bangladesh
various English newspapers of Bangladesh
various English newspapers of Bangladesh and this is the visualization so you can
and this is the visualization so you can
and this is the visualization so you can see the patterns and the statistics in a
see the patterns and the statistics in a
see the patterns and the statistics in a visual form which shows us the levels
visual form which shows us the levels
visual form which shows us the levels and the trends of road accidents over
and the trends of road accidents over
and the trends of road accidents over various years in various places and
various years in various places and
various years in various places and various types of vehicles in Bangladesh
so from this idea we actually got the
so from this idea we actually got the idea for the loskis network and we use
idea for the loskis network and we use
idea for the loskis network and we use the same data mining and visualization
the same data mining and visualization
the same data mining and visualization techniques to create the idea that
techniques to create the idea that
techniques to create the idea that maybe we can have a better search engine
maybe we can have a better search engine
maybe we can have a better search engine which makes it easily accessible and
which makes it easily accessible and
which makes it easily accessible and easily searchable for all the laws of
easily searchable for all the laws of
easily searchable for all the laws of Bangladesh we actually through the
Bangladesh we actually through the
Bangladesh we actually through the students together and we made Hardware
students together and we made Hardware
students together and we made Hardware prototypes to understand sign language
prototypes to understand sign language
prototypes to understand sign language and then we created and then we created
and then we created and then we created
and then we created and then we created hand gesture based technology for
hand gesture based technology for
hand gesture based technology for hospital patients and we also use
hospital patients and we also use
hospital patients and we also use virtual reality mixed reality based
virtual reality mixed reality based
virtual reality mixed reality based techniques to create interactive games
techniques to create interactive games
techniques to create interactive games with children so that’s with the science
with children so that’s with the science
with children so that’s with the science fields but the humanity students also
fields but the humanity students also

collaborated with the tech people and
collaborated with the tech people and the processed various news data from
the processed various news data from
the processed various news data from newspaper reports spanning over a few
newspaper reports spanning over a few
newspaper reports spanning over a few years and that automatically processed a
years and that automatically processed a
years and that automatically processed a pattern of road accidents in Bangladesh
pattern of road accidents in Bangladesh
pattern of road accidents in Bangladesh so using data visualization we could now
so using data visualization we could now
so using data visualization we could now show the regions the places the season
show the regions the places the season
show the regions the places the season and also the type of vehicle which are
and also the type of vehicle which are
and also the type of vehicle which are more prone to accidents in Bangladesh so
more prone to accidents in Bangladesh so
more prone to accidents in Bangladesh so you see out of these breaking through
