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.

计算员（35）该项目构建并评估了实验室和课程体验，以支持与计算学习材料交互的引人入胜的直觉界面：运动捕获和Nintendo Wiimote。该界面支持3-D运动的捕获，这是对人类学习者手势的自然手段。 Wiimote界面使多个学习者能够与专门设计的练习同时进行互动，这些练习旨在促进对计算原理和系统设计的协作探索。开发的协作探索模块利用了3-D运动接口并具有两个独特的优势。首先，通过学习理论和应用，学生直接发现了计算概念和方法的需求和使用。其次，互动游戏的独特动作捕获和设施使Wiimote具有小说和引人入胜的探索，Wiimote立即吸引了年轻学生。因此，这项工作正在利用这种增强的热情和动力来显着发展计算思维能力的能力。这项工作通过对3-D运动接口的教学功效进行了强有力的评估，从而增强了学科研究，涉及计算机科学和心理学的教师。
