− | The project will be completed successfully. ImageViewer activity is an important cog in the sugar labs machine, It provides a graphical visualization of study material. No educational material is complete without Images and Imageviewer is an essential program to view them. Sugarlabs is creating web support for children who can’t afford an OLPC laptop, so Imageviewer in javascript running in any browser will help out to reach many more children who can benefit from sugar. | + | The project will be completed successfully. |

− | This ImageViewer in JavaScript will have a new child-friendly UI and many new exciting features.One of the most important benefits of this activity is that it will induce learning. Image processing is a vast field and many creative things can be done through it. My application will also '''focus on how children can understand pixel manipulation'''. Through this they can learn how filters actually work and they can create their own effects through RGB colour manipulation of pixels. | + | ImageViewer activity is an important cog in the sugar labs machine, It provides a graphical visualization of study material which reduces cognitive load and helps learners in managing their ideas and making connections between the information resources. Our brain defaults to images for words, when it can. We remember |
| + | images. We forget words. When kids first start to read, their brain tries to |
| + | <nowiki> </nowiki>interpret letters as images. Put several letters together and their brain |
| + | <nowiki> </nowiki>has to think through each individual letter as an image. At some point, |
| + | <nowiki> </nowiki>it reads combined letters and thinks of the image, instead of the word! |
