E-Commerce Website for VibSpecLab, IIT Bombay
App Development, Web Development, Game Development
Mentors :
Ojas Jain
Mentees :
4-6
The project requires us to build an e-commerce website listing for various scientific instrumentation being built inside the vibrational spectroscopy lab at IIT Bombay. The website will have the options to place orders for the products, videos to set them up and interface to use them by deployment of software packages dependent upon the type of product. It is like buying a printer from the HP website, you order the device and then download the appropriate drivers and software to use it.
