Blind Persons

Visual impairment persons are not able to do all works as normal persons especially during purchasing products in supermarket. To help the blind peoples recognise the objects a text reading method is proposed along with the help of camera. A motion detection method is used to detect the presence of the object. The audio instructions about all the objects and their location in supermarket are notified to the blind user that helps them to move freely inside the supermarket. The proposed system aims to make more convenient for the blind persons to purchase in a sophisticated environment. This system also provides easy shopping, consumers time is saved, etc. The implementation of proposed system is done using artificial intelligence and OCR technology.

Predictive Inferences

Predictive inferences are anticipations of what could happen next in the text we are reading. These inferences seem to be activated during reading, but a delay is necessary for their construction. To determine the length of this delay, we first used a classical word-naming task. In the second experiment, we used a Stroop-like task to verify that inference activation was not due to strategies applied during the naming task. The results show that predictive inferences are naturally activated during text reading, after approximately 1 s.

This research aims to develop Pop-Up Book as supplementary media to support the teaching of narrative texts and to evaluate whether or not the media are feasible to teach narrative texts to the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 8 Pontianak. The media consisted of narrative texts with pop-up pictures. They were divided based on the structure of a narrative text. The materials were taken from the students’ textbook that the researcher has simplified. The procedures were adapted from ADDIE Model proposed by Branch and it used three phases, namely, Analyse, Design, and Develop. From analyse phase, it was found that the students needed interesting media that was visually attractive to engage them in the teaching learning process and to support the existing materials. The Design phase covered the aspects, which were the focus of the media, of the materials and the pictures for the media, and the structure of the media. The Development phase concerned the development of the essential parts of the media. According to the evaluation result, the media are considered feasible to be applied by the teachers to teach narrative text reading.
