==== | ====Malayalam LCD- Display(under discussion)==== | ||
Project aims to build a module, consisting of an LCD panel and a controller section, which as a whole, can display Malayalam in proper fashion, as in usual PC's. Scope of this project is enormous as it offers Malayalam display for the whole range of embedded systems. Complexity of the project is equally high, as it has to handle the rendering issues and algorithms, which are handled by the rendering engine in a usual PC(ie. pango for GNOME... QT based for KDE... etc) | Project aims to build a module, consisting of an LCD panel and a controller section, which as a whole, can display Malayalam in proper fashion, as in usual PC's.

==== | ====Hardware OGG player(under discussion)==== | ||
The ultimate aim of the project is to have a portable, complete multimedia system for the user, with which one can take pictures and videos, record it on free formats. Also it can act as a personal music player. Initially we expect to develop an ogg vorbis player, which can be later extended accordingly. So, design parameters also considers the scope for expanding the project to offer more... | The ultimate aim of the project is to have a portable, complete multimedia system for the user, with which one can take pictures and videos, record it on free formats.
