Abstract:
Pakistan is a developing nation with a falling economy and below average
literacy rate. The lack of affordable and modern education resources is
causing problems for the community at large. The proposed solution for this
is a low-cost projection device that works with little resources to make
imparting education easier without the need for books. The device's image
quality was evaluated by user testing in NGOs in classrooms with various
lighting levels. The usability was tested by allowing the teachers and
administrative staff to set it up and interact with it. This study revealed that
the amount of light provided (in Lumens) was sufficient to project in a room
with ambient lighting and the faculty required less than 5 minutes to figure
out the interface and use the product in the intended manner. This paper
discusses the failures of traditional educational resources in terms of current
natural disaster-prone situations and how we can reimagine a rural area with
modern technology made simple and affordable.
