How the Visualiser was used –
We used the Visualiser to demonstrate a close up which wouldotherwise be difficult to show to the group. We were able to showthe objects in close detail. The image was able to be captured sothat we could discuss the parts of a plant and illustrate sections atanother time without dissecting another flower.The Visualiser provided ‘live’ real time pictures directly into our USBand whiteboard. The Visualiser gave us excellent picture qualityand the flexible goose neck camera and the light gave excellentimages. The Young People were able to annotate the screen usingthe Smart Board and using the zoom feature highlight certain areas of the plant and the minibeast. Butterfly Wings, Snails Shells and Fir Cones and Flowers were seen extremelyeffectively.
