Today, science has so closely knitted itself into our everyday life, and so it is only natural that this science and technology be used effectively in the domain of education as well. These days all modern schools have accepted how vital a role these ICT equipments play when it comes to imparting high quality futuristic education to the present. The ICT or Information and Communication Technology products act as complementary aid to effectively supplement teaching needs. This has really led to enhancing the classroom practices all over the globe.

It has been commonly observed that children are able to learn the lyrics of difficult long songs and are able to recall dialogues from their favourite films or action heroes but forget the simplest things the teacher taught in class.

Let's take a simple example. You're a teacher and you enter the class to teach the students, say History. You wish to show children the beautiful renaissance paintings by the Italian masters and want to show to the students the beauty of Italian architecture, a video about a political leader is what you want to share with your students or a sketch by Da Vinci. To do all of this you'd either make chart on your own or show a picture in the book itself to your class. And the moment you raise the book, you have the little ones flocking all around you! Confusion and chaos: Not what you had planned.

Now, if you just had a Visualiser, you could do all of this with students at their seats and not a peep out of any of them. It's a pleasure to see a class totally engrossed in the teacher's words. A visualiser can not only show you enlarged images of any two dimensional object like a document, map, letter, newspaper clipping, page from a book etc, it can also show you zoomed projections of 3D articles like a jewellery piece, a fruit or vegetable, and even an insect specimen etc.
