'''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.'''<br>

''Gaurav Parida :'' With the completion of my project, the web activities will have further more support for hardware devices like camera, accelerometer and etc. Thus, users will get to interact, more with the activities intuitively. The developers will get easy access to port existing applications to sugar web activities. The developers will also get easy access to the API level functions provided by cordova to use the devices with their activities. Thus, the developer base would increase a lot and also the user’s usability will increase significantly.<br>

I can just say that for young kids, interaction with the physical world is really important: hence the need to support devices <br>

When I was 6 years old, I was always interested on knowing how things worked. My dad had bought me a electronics set, where I plugged in a DC motor to a battery and made a Fan. Intrigued by this success, I thought that the fan will rotate faster if I plug it to the AC port. On  doing so, a short circuit occurred and from that I learnt that without the guidance of the elders, working things can go awry.

I think that, it is a very noble job to make something that helps in improving the way teaching is done and makes the subject more interactive and interesting for the student to understand and grasp. The OLPC and the SugarLabs project should be adopted in more and more countries. I feel humbled to be be a part of such a good cause.
