Curriculum and Laboratory Development Through 3-D Interfacing via the Nintendo Wiimote

计算其他（35）这个项目建立和评估实验室和课程的经验，以支持一个从事直观的界面与计算学习材料：动作捕捉和任天堂Wiimote互动。这个界面支持捕捉三维运动，这是人类学习者的一种自然手势。Wiimote界面使多个学习者能够同时与专门设计的练习进行交互，这些练习旨在促进计算原理和系统设计的协作探索。已经开发的协作探索模块利用3-D运动界面，具有两个独特的优势。首先，通过学习理论和应用，学生直接发现计算概念和方法的需求和用途。第二，独特的动作捕捉和互动游戏设施使Wiimote能够进行新颖而引人入胜的探索，这对年轻学生具有即时的吸引力。因此，这项工作是利用这种增加的热情和动机，为一个显着更强的发展计算思维能力。这项工作通过强大的评估教学效果的3-D运动接口，涉及教师从计算机科学以及心理学增强跨学科的研究。

Computing-others (35) This project builds and evaluates a laboratory and curricular experience to support an engaging intuitive interface for interacting with computational learning materials: motion capture and the Nintendo Wiimote. This interface supports the capture of 3-D motion, a natural means of gesturing for human learners. A Wiimote interface enables multiple learners to interact simultaneously with specially designed exercises that are intended to promote collaborative exploration of computational principles and system design.The collaborative exploration modules that have been developed utilize the 3-D motion interface and possess two unique advantages. First, by learning the theory and applications, students discover the need for and the uses of computational concepts and methods directly. Second, the unique motion capture and facility for interactive play enables novel and engaging explorations with the Wiimote, which has an instant appeal with young students. Thus, this work is leveraging this increased enthusiasm and motivation for a significantly stronger development of computational-thinking competencies.The work augments inter-disciplinary research through robust evaluation of the efficacy of teaching by 3-D motion interfacing, involving faculty from Computer Science as well as Psychology.
