Projected Visuals

Projected Visuals

Over time, technology has changed to allow people to communicate efficiently and has gone from a
means to make difficult tasks easier. Technology has always been a present force acting in the world. It
started out as simple tools created by the most primitive humans and evolved into other tools that made life
easier for the people and the inventor himself. In the mid-20th century, the technological advances began to
boom. Engineers and educators began to look for new ways to make computers do tasks as media that would
help them during the class. Projected and electronic materials are forms of media which could be visual,
audio and audio-visual in nature that requires projection and electricity in their using process for teaching and
learning situation.

According to Burton (in Shabiralyani, Hasan, Hamad and Iqbal, 2015), visual aids are those sensory
objects or images which initiate or stimulate and support learning. It means that visual aids are those aids
which appeal to the sense of vision or the eye in which children can see something (Dash and Dash, 2007).
In a more complete meaning, Singh (2005) defines visual aids as any device which by sight and sound
increase the individuals' practice, outside that attained through read labelled as an audio visual aids. Visual
aids give chance to speakers to make a more professional and consistent performance.

What is Projected Visuals?

o Projected Visuals are defined as media formats in which still pictures are enlarged and displayed on
a screen by use of a certain type of machine such as filmstrip projector, slide projector, overhead
projector or TV/CVR.
o Projected Visuals have long been popular as a medium of instruction as well as entertainment.
Values of Projected Visuals
o Provides greater enjoyment in learning
o Stimulates more rapid learning
o Makes teaching situation adaptable to wide range
o Enlarges or reduces actual size of objects
o Influences and changes attitude
Limitations of Projected Visuals
Projected visuals have some specific limitations.
o They require special equipment for their display.
o This equipment is usually costly, needs meticulous care and attention and in many cases, call for
special training for its handling and maintenance.
o Participants might pay more attention to the graphics.
Types of Projected Visuals

1. Opaque
2. Film Strip
3. Multi-Image Presentation
4. Sound-Slide Sets
5. Slides
6. Overhead Projection
7. Computer Image Projection
Overhead Projection
o The first projected visual aids which come into world is OHP. The typical overhead projector is a
simple device which basically consists of a box with a large aperture or “stage” on the top surface.
This device makes use of transparency which later is called as acetate (individual sheet of transparent
film) and overlays (sheets of transparent film).
Computer Image Projection
o Liquid crystal display (LCD) projections panels project computer images onto screen. An LCD panel
is plugged into computer and placed onto the stage of a high-intensity overhead projector. The
projector light shines through LCD panel, projecting image on a screen.
Slides
o Slide is a more modern one than OHP. It refers to a small-format photographic transparency
individually mounted for one-at-time projection. The standard size of slides is 5 x 5 cm. Slides may
be used at all grade levels and for instruction in all curriculum area, such as providing a tour without
walking though the area, making a visual history, illustrating lectures, documenting students activities,
showing people at work in various jobs, simulating a field trip, promoting public understanding, etc.
Sound-Slides Sets
o While OHP and slides are not accompanied by sounds, sound-slides sets are a combination of 2x2
inch slides and audiotape which is versatile, easy to use and effective for both group and independent
study. This sound slide programs may be advanced in manually or automatically. In manual operation,
the visual and audio components are usually separated. The presenter needs to ensure that the visual
and audio are synchronized. In automatic operation, it uses two sound tracks – one for audible
narration and for inaudible tones that activate the advance mechanism on the slide projector.
Filmstrip
o A filmstrip is a roll of 35mm transparent film containing a series of related still pictures intended for
showing one at a time. The standard format of film strips is the single-frame filmstrip, in which the
images are printed perpendicular to the length of the film, while in 35mm slide film, the images are
parallel to the length of the film. This projector has no audio accompaniment. Narrative information is
printed at the bottom of each frame or is recorded separately. As slides can be made by the teacher
and students, filmstrips are better suited to mass production and distribution.
