Ideas of last “TECHNORAMA” became real
Last year venture capital group “Practica capital” scholarship was given for Mindaugas Badokas, who is already established a startup company, presenting his project “Desys” in USA and other countries and is looking for investors. “Desys” is a creative wireless motion enhancer. It is out-of-the-box, plug’n’play device, providing users an exciting and simple way to explore and play sounds using their motion. It can be used as a creative tool by musicians, dancers and artists as well it is an intelligent toy for kids and grown-ups.
In “TECHNORAMA 2011” KTU student Gediminas Neimanas for the first time presented “Rubbee” his technological solution for bicycle. “Rubbee” – is a universal friction wheel drive, which is unique in that it transfers energy directly to the bicycle tire, without any chains, belt or gear mechanisms.
Children with speaking disorder can use speech therapy toy “Šnekutis“, which for the first time was presented in “TECHNORAMA 2012” by KTU electronics engineering students Linas Sidaras and Marius Gailius with their professor dr. Darius Jegelevičius.
