Visual aids and physical documents are crucial tools in various fields, including

construction, education, and research. Portable power tools offer greater flexibility and

mobility, resulting in increased productivity and reduced physical strain on workers in

construction (Christensen et al., 2015). Similarly, access to educational resources, including

visual aids, is limited in remote areas, leading to challenges in delivering effective education to

students (Tshering et al., 2017). Educational technology, such as computers and projectors, has

been found to be effective in improving access to visual aids and enhancing the learning

experience of students. Visual aids, such as diagrams and graphs, have been found to be

effective in enhancing the understanding and retention of information in education (Suleiman

& Halim, 2018).

The construction industry has traditionally relied on physical documents, such as

blueprints, specifications, and contracts, to communicate project requirements and

specifications (Bock et al., 2015). The advent of digital technologies has led to a shift towards

electronic document management systems, resulting in the decreased use of physical

documents (Bock et al., 2015). However, physical documents are still widely used in the

construction industry and are considered an essential part of the project management process.

Physical documents can be easily marked up and shared among project stakeholders, making

them an ideal option for remote project sites (Kibert et al., 2016). Additionally, the use of

physical documents can help reduce errors and miscommunications during the construction

process (Bock et al., 2015).

 Remote locations often lack the necessary infrastructure to support digital

technologies, making it challenging to present project plans using electronic devices (Kibert et

al., 2016). Thus, physical documents such as blueprints and project specifications become

essential for communicating project requirements to stakeholders. Furthermore, physical

documents offer several benefits over electronic documents, including ease of use,

accessibility, and the ability to provide a tangible reference for project stakeholders (Bock et

al., 2015).

To ensure that physical documents are easily accessible and portable, professionals

need to have a storage solution that is easy to transport and secure. Mobile storage solutions,

such as portable document cases or file folders, can help keep physical documents organized

and accessible while on the move. In addition, professionals must ensure that their physical

documents are kept secure from loss or damage.

Visual aids and physical documents are critical tools in various fields. The use of

physical documents in the construction industry has proven to be effective in reducing errors

and miscommunications during the construction process. Professionals must be prepared with

portable storage solutions to ensure that physical documents remain accessible and secure,

especially in remote locations with limited access to digital technologies.

According to BenQ (2023), a projection screen is a surface that is used to display

images or video content from a projector. It is typically a flat white or gray surface that is

designed to reflect light back to the audience in a uniform manner, creating a clear and bright

image. Projection screens come in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from small portable

screens to large screens used in auditoriums and theaters.

The portable telescopic blueprint storage and presenter (PTBSP), on the other hand,

uses a unique material called ecotarp, which is a more affordable and eco-friendly option

compared to other projection screen materials. The tarp material is also readily accessible in

the local market, making it a practical choice for many users. This feature sets the PTBSP

apart from other projection screens, making it a cost-effective and environmentally conscious

choice for businesses and organizations. Other factors that affect the quality of the image

displayed on a projection screen include the gain, or brightness, of the screen, the viewing

angle, and the ambient light in the room.

Projection screens are essential components of modern multimedia systems, providing

a high-quality, large-scale display of visual content. While traditional materials such as woven

fabric are commonly used for high-quality projection screens, the use of ecotarp in the PTBSP

offers a more sustainable and cost-effective option for many users. Projection screens come in

a range of sizes and shapes and can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the
