A 17-year-old schoolboy here has claimed to have invented a device which can enable a paralysed person to communicate using the muscles of his forehead.

"The marked improvement in test scores was also supported by qualitative data that showed that 100 per cent of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that 3D animations in the classroom made the children understand things better and 100 per cent of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that the pupils discovered new things in 3D learning that they did not know before," Professor Bamford said.

"The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding, increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement," Professor Bamford added.
