The need for digitization of and modernization of various interactive devices used for various mediums of communication is well known. The need for an interactive device for expressive communication is well known and required. It is very often noticed that during various communication sessions various interactive devices are required to express and clearly explain certain topics of discussion and subjects. In today’s rapidly evolving world even the education system is evolving based on the needs of the modern society.
