Asmi Jain from Indore wins Apple’s WWDC23 Swift Student Challenge with her EyeTrack App

Hailing from the streets of Indore, 20 years old, Asmi Jain has left a mark over the world with her EyeTrack application. She was among the 375 winner at ‘Apple’s Swift Student Challenge’.

Winner Asmi Jain created an app playground designed to help users strengthen their eye muscles. Impressed by Indore girl’s app, Apple CEO Tim Cook says her work ‘poised to impact world’.

First-time winner, Asmi Jain while at Medi-Caps University in Indore, found out that her friend’s uncle had to undergo a brain surgery. As a result of which, he was left with an eye misalignment and facial paralysis. This triggered Asmi as she sprung into action and designed her winning playground to track a user’s eye movements as they try to follow a moving ball around the screen. The playground’s purpose is to help strengthen eye muscles, and Asmi hopes it can be used by people with a variety of eye conditions and injuries.

Every year, Apple hosts global WWDC23 Swift Student Challenge as part of its Worldwide Developers Conference. This year, Apple increased the number of winners from 350 to 375 so even more students could be included in the event and recognized for their artistry and ingenuity.

This year’s challenge saw projects from more than 30 countries and covered topics such as healthcare, sports, entertainment, and environment.
