Weathering the global financial crisis - Malaysia's stimulus package and its implications. by Liaw, Wan Tieng., Li, Pei., Ow, Kuok Jein.

“…The onset of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) had brought down economies worldwide, that even the major powerhouse, the United States of America was tremendously affected. In this paper, we dwell into how a small, open economy such as Malaysia was affected by this global contagious effect, focusing on how economic policies are implemented by the local government to help weather itself out of the storm and its effectiveness, as well as drawing lessons learned from this crisis.…”

Virtual reality (VR) table tennis by Cheong, Yong Wen

“…The project has achieved the basic goal of creating an AI opponent which can return the ball through inference. Future Improvements could involve improvement of ball physics to simulate spinning effects of the ball and training the model with 3-dimensional variables with greater computing resources.Overall, this project has successfully demonstrated the feasibility integrating ML into VR, allowing future game developers to create immersive and adaptive gaming experiences that push the boundaries of VR entertainment.…”

A micro motion sensing system for micromanipulation tasks by Tan, U Xuan, Latt, Win Tun, Georgiou, Andreas, Sidarta, Ananda Ekaputera, Riviere, Cameron N, Ang, Wei Tech

“…The main components of the system consist of a pair of position sensitive detectors (PSDs), lenses, an infrared (IR) diode that illuminates the workspace of the system, a non-reflective intraocular shaft, and a white reflective ball attached at the end of the shaft. The system calculates 3D displacement of the ball inside the workspace using the centroid position of the IR rays that are reflected from the ball and strike the PSDs. …”
