Nintendo Wii Remote Controller in Higher Education: Development and Evaluation of a Demonstrator Kit for e-Teaching

摘要: The increasing availability of game based technologies together with advances in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and usability engineering provides new challenges opportunities to virtual environments the context e-Teaching. Consequently, an evident trend is offer learners equivalent practical learning experiences, whilst supporting creativity for both teachers learners. Current market surveys showed surprisingly that Wii remote controller (Wiimote) more widely spread than standard PCs most used computer input device worldwide, which given its collection sensors, accelerometers bluetooth technology, makes it great interest HCI experiments e-Learning/e-Teaching. In this paper we discuss importance gestures teaching describe design development a low-cost demonstrator kit on Wiimote enhancing quality lecturing gestures.
