Tools for Fifth Generation Educational Environments

9361647施罗德新兴的第五代教育环境将把学生和教学传递系统之间的信息流提高到前所未有的水平。第五代系统中的一组，在概念上源于基于图形的模拟器，使用虚拟现实（VR）技术来捕捉运动反应并相应地改变模拟世界。提出的第二组，在概念上起源于嵌入式培训系统，称为字面现实（LR）系统，是提出的工作的重点。在LR应用程序中，学生将在现实世界的教育环境中自由活动，并在一定程度上从要开发的工具中获得指导和反馈。将调查三种支持设备，以确定它们作为LR和VR系统工具的潜在价值。具体来说，三维人体测量系统和现有的无线音频计算机接口将被调查、调整和测试其在LR和VR系统中的价值。此外，计算机控制的激光笔将研究其作为LR系统工具的价值。一个原型LR教育环境将被创建和演示。* * *

9361647 Schroeder Emerging fifth-generation educational environments will increase the flow of information between the student and the instructional delivery system to levels never before possible. One group of fifth-generation systems, conceptually descended from graphics-based simulators, uses virtual reality (VR) technology to capture motor responses and alter a simulated world accordingly. A proposed second group, conceptually descended from embedded training systems and called a literal reality (LR) system, is the focus of the proposed work. In LR applications, students will move freely about in a real-world educational environment, receiving instructions and feedback in part from tools to be developed in this effort. Three supporting devices will be investigated to determine their potential value as tools for LR and VR systems. Specifically, three-dimensional anthropometry systems and an existing cordless audio computer interface will be investigated, adapted, and tested for their value in LR and VR systems. Also, a computer-controlled laser pointer will be studied for its value as a tool for LR systems. A prototype LR educational environment will be created and demonstrated. ***
