Jaipur (Rajasthan): Students of JECRC University in Jaipur have designed two unique devices - one that helps solve the problem of social distancing and the other related to wearing masks.
Firstly, a 'Facemask Detector' that acts as surveillance and can also be placed on the doors to help detect whether a person is wearing a mask or not. When the person is wearing a mask, the doors will open up, else it will remain closed.

Secondly, a 'Social Distancing Badge' that beeps when someone comes closer to you or within the distance of two meters. The device is a small one and can be inserted on ID cards .
Shekhar Chandra, who heads JECRC University's Innovation Cell, says in this era of Corona, many are not adhering to the mandatory Covid protocol, which is why these two devices would play a crucial role.

The students who designed these devices, Pradeep Kumar and Shubham Singh, say that it's a challenging task to maintain social distancing as soon as they get out of the house and hence came up with the idea of inventing these devices.
Prepared by the University's Innovation Cell, these devices would be launched for commercial production by the university, so that the common man can benefit from them.
