06-270 2541
Technology Description:

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability resulting in people experiencing difficulties in reading, spelling,
writing and speaking due to the inability to differentiate sound components. These problems are sometimes
accompanied by short-term memory difficulties, a lack of organizational skills and time management issues
which all have an impact on learning. MyLexics 2.0 is a mobile application version of MyLexics - courseware
that was developed to help children with dyslexia learn to read and write in the Malay language. MyLexics was
developed based on the ‘Dual Coding Theory’ by Allan Paivio (Paivio and Begg,1981) who suggested that a recall
or recognition can be enhanced by presenting information in both visual and verbal form, combined with the
Scaffolding teaching strategy (Wood et. al., 1976) – providing assistance to student on an as-needed basis, fading
it as the competence increases. The content has been structured as building up the process; the children learn the
individual ‘alphabets’ and then combine the alphabets to make ‘syllables’, finally they add the combined syllables
to other syllables to form ‘words’. MyLexics 2.0 was designed based on mobile cloud computing to increase the
numbers of the target users in the global market. Mobile cloud computing is a powerful tool to enable the user to
use this mobile application anytime and anywhere when needed irrespective of their movement (N. Fernando et.
al, 2013). Adopting the advantages of mobile cloud computing; Mylexics 2.0 provides an additional crucial feature
by helping teachers and parents to monitor the progress of their children’s learning in real time which cannot be
done by the previous version.
Novelty/Inventiveness:
• Provide analytics data on users’ interaction and engagement through the cloud to support and monitor the

learning progress.

Technology Description:

The world populations will increase from 7 billion to 9.2 billion by 2050. United Nations Food and Agriculture
(FAO) estimates the demand for food produced through agricultural activities will also increase by 70%.
Consequently, effective and sustainable agricultural management is essential for producing safe and sufficient
food for the world’s population. Community awareness on nutritional and pesticide-free, heavy metals and harmful
microorganisms is also increasing. This is due to the increase in various cases of harmful and chronic diseases
such as cancer, persistent headaches and nerve diseases that are also linked to nutrition. Hence, Good Practice
Agriculture (GAP) should be practiced extensively for the purpose of supplying safe and quality food sources to the
public. MyGAP is one of the resource management systems that can prove the agriculture management process is
good and sustainable. MYGAP certification also enhances the competitiveness of Malaysian agricultural products
internationally. However, MYGAP is considered decertified by farmers in Malaysia due to the tedious management
data recording process. In addition, there is no practical farm management application because the existing
system is very complex and does not fit the needs of farmers in Malaysia. Hence, the MYGAP mobile application
that we have developed helps in ensuring effective farm records management.
Novelty/Inventiveness:
• This application has tremendous potential as it is the first in Malaysia and the development of this application

gets direct cooperation from farmers and agricultural officials. In addition, the use of these mobile applications
in plantation management and agricultural business activities can improve the performance of farmers in
raising their farm’s production and supporting agribusiness.
Commercialization Potential:
• Using the developed system, the problem of food security can be monitored by the government if it is used
extensively. This is because important information such as crop yield estimation can be provided through the
information that farmers have provided through this system. This can have a great impact on the increase in
food prices in the future.
• This application can be seen to provide benefits in the development of information systems and some
software tools developed for the use of farmers. It will be an important guide in producing more technology
in agriculture that will scale the country’s economy in the future.
• Then developed applications will appeal to
youths to venture into agriculture because
they can learn more about farming
techniques and management online via
their smartphones. In addition, the use of
social media that supports the activities of

INTERACTIVE MEDICAL HOLOGRAM:
OPHTHALMOLOGY

DR. SARNI SUHAILA BINTI RAHIM

06-270 2547

Technology Description:
Ophthalmology is one of the medical branches that deal with the eye. This field is associated with the anatomy,
physiology and diseases of the eye. The main objective of this project is to develop a novel interactive simulation
of eye anatomy in three dimensional (3D) display by using holography environment approach in order to create a
better visualization of the structures of the eyes. Currently, the public can access the medical information through
some conventional methods, such as brochure, pamphlet, booklet, in addition to some other better ways, for
example, 2D and 3D videos. However, these methods do not offer an interactivity visualization of the medical
information that helps to create a much engaging presentation to users. Moreover, the medical doctors are unable
to show and explain in details about the occurrence of the disease through these methods. An interactive method
therefore is required to assist the doctors to effectively convey the information of the disease. Since the human eye
is the most complex organ in our body, thus an advanced technology, i.e., hologram should be used to visualize the
visual system in an effective and interactive method, also to produce an effective eye diseases explanation. The
hologram is in a three-dimensional image form besides an interactivity element, where the proposed technology
will help doctors to examine vital organs using 3D displays. It is envisaged that the proposed interactive holography
technique for the clinical purpose would greatly contribute to and assist the management of eye diseases and
other diseases as well. It is hoped that the developed interactive holography technique for an eye will assist
clinicians in delivering the disease information efficiently and attractively.

Novelty/Inventiveness:
• Novel interactive application of ophthalmology

with the holographic method.
• Novel content verification for eye anatomy

features by the Consultant Ophthalmologist.
• New verified human eye model.
• Novel voice-over recording for eye

anatomy pronunciation by the Consultant
Ophthalmologist.

Commercialization Potential:
• Medical: Medical doctors, ophthalmologists,

optometrists.
• Training: Medical trainers/Practitioners,

nurses, paramedics.
• Education: Medical lecturers, medical

students, multimedia lecturers, multimedia
students.
• Public, patients.

MULTISPECTRAL REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM FOR OIL
AND GAS EXPLORATION

ASSOC. PROF. GS. DR. ASMALA BIN AHMAD
[email protected]
06-270 1317

Technology Description:
Hydrocarbon in the form of oil and gas has long been the source of raw material in producing useful things
for human daily activities besides fueling our vehicles and machines. Seismic, gravity, magnetic and resistivity
surveys are among the conventional methods used in detecting subsurface oil and gas. However, these methods
are very expensive particularly for large and remote areas. Satellite remote sensing offers a better alternative
over these conventional methods due to its ability to monitor large-scale areas continuously and with a cheaper
cost. Nevertheless, satellite remote sensing suffers from shortcomings in terms of low spatial resolution (meter
level), low revisit frequency (revisit time more than 10 days) and limited autonomy (mostly owned and managed by
agencies from developed countries due to the expensive infrastructures). To overcome these issues, we developed
a novel drone-based multispectral remote sensing system with very high spectral resolution (millimeter level),
high revisit frequency (depending on the user’s need) and user’s full autonomy (the system can be operated by
one person, from anywhere and at any time). The system is mounted with a multispectral remote sensing sensor
that operates in 0.5-0.8 micrometer wavelengths involving green, red, red edge and infrared spectral bands. It
is able to navigate autonomously and can be tracked in real-time. Oil detection is carried out by making used of
embedded Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) algorithm to detect oil micro leakage which leads to an
abnormality of vegetation health condition. This is due to the migration and gathering of oil and gas micro leakage
in the soil, replacing the original air and change the
soil environment of the plant roots. The chlorophyll
content of the plants tend to reduce, and the red
edge position of plant tend to shift toward the
shorter wavelengths and consequently affecting
the plant health, eventually indicating the presence
of hydrocarbon. This shall help oil and gas
companies in carrying out oil and gas exploration
tasks more effectively and cost-efficiently.

Novelty/Inventiveness:
• Provide ready-to-use NDVI images for oil and

gas exploration
• Autonomous speed variability based on the

object-to-sensor range to avoid image non-
overlapping issue during the stitching process
• Provide full-autonomy to users – It can be
operated by one-person operator, anyone,
from anywhere and at any time

Commercialization Potential:
• For use by organizations dealing with oil and

gas exploration businesses.
