MOBILE POINTME BASED PERVASIVE GAMING INTERACTION WITH LEARNING OBJECTS ANNOTATED PHYSICAL ATLAS

Abstract

The prevalent visions of ambient intelligence leverage natural interaction between user and available services in a learning space. In this pursuit, we propose a framework to facilitate handheld device based PointMe interaction with annotated media content, where the user points his/her handheld device to the annotated physical atlas for interacting with a world map. The proposed system performs annotations by specifying spatial location of the atlas and mapping related learning information to them. Each annotated data is encoded in customized Learning Object Metadata (LOM) format and they provide access points for available information about the specific countries in the map. This real world interaction technique with the physical environment and seamless virtual learning information acquisition make the system transparent from the young learners and help them to become engaged in their learning activities.
