The study usedsecondary research methodology and found that both formats were effective in conveyinginformation, but animated infographics were more impactful in terms of comprehension,retention, engagement, and memorability.

Theuniversal optical conductance model matches reflection data for graphene flakes up to ninelayers thick. However, achieving maximum sensitivity at the desired wavelength necessitatesprecise control over oxide thickness and oxide index of refraction. Another proposed methodutilizes transmission or reflection optical microscopy to determine the number of graphenemonolayers on various substrates [4]. Image modification through software analysis yields a 3Dmodel of few layers of graphene on any substrate. However, this method relies on classical, time-consuming techniques like AFM and Raman spectroscopy for

researchers are primarily making use of two basic types of technologies: “bright-eye”and “dark-eye” trackers7. Bright-eye trackers use an infrared light shining into the eye to createtwo reflections, one through the pupil and off of the back of the retina and one off of the surfaceof the cornea. An infrared-sensitive camera records these two reflections, using image processingtechniques to size and locate these two reflections in the image at a rate of 30-60 Hz. The relativeposition of these two reflections is then used to tell where the eye gaze is. The retinal reflectionlooks large and bright in this video image, thus its common name. Dark eye trackers use asimilar image processing approach using visible light and often visible landmarks other than
