摘要本文描述了一种交互式设备,潜望镜,旨在作为一种教育工具,在儿童在林地环境下进行数字增强实地考察时使用。潜望镜组件包括一个显示器和配备了RFID的有形物品,使用手柄进行控制,使其能够升起和旋转。可通过旋转潜望镜或扭动手柄来控制显示。一套有形的东西,一组装有RFID标签的培养皿,使孩子们能够进行实验,结果显示在显示器上。文中还概述了现场试验,证实了该设计的有效性。最后,我们讨论了将数字技术引入日常环境所带来的美学设计问题。
AbstractThis paper describes an interactive device, the Periscope, designed to be used as an educational tool featured during a children's digitally enhanced field trip in a woodland setting. The Periscope assembly, including a display and RFID equipped tangibles, is controlled using handles that enable it to be raised and rotated. The display is controlled by rotating the Periscope, or alternatively by twisting the handles. A set of tangibles, a collection of Petri dishes fitted with RFID tags, enable the children to carry out experiments with the results being shown on the display. Field trials are also outlined in which the effectiveness of this design is established. In conclusion, we discuss the aesthetic design issues raised by introducing digital technology into everyday environments.
