Motion Based Learning App For Children

Abstract

Gaming based Learning / Teaching applications are vastly getting recognized in the area of E Learning. Even though these applications are getting the attention they should, properly teaching children using this game based applications is still a big challenge. The common problem with teaching kids is, due to their short attention spans they lose interest quickly. In addition to traditional methods like reading, kids have a tendency towards game based activities and applications when it comes to learn something also these applications happen to keep fun and engaging atmosphere which keep children engaged. The game based applications have proven to be a trusted and convenient tool which helps change the way children learn during last decade. This application mainly focuses on providing a gesture sensitive facility (using Leap Motion Controller) attached with game based application which helps to teach the children efficiently. This application is designed in a way that enhances skills and knowledge of children who are in age between 4 and 5. The biggest advantage of using Leap motion controller instead of using mouse and keyboard is the users can use their hands to control the application which is fun, easy and effective. The games that have designed are included elementary level of educational knowledge that is crucial to a child, such as identify letters, identify numbers and very basic mathematical skills. Since this is an implementation project, it has been facilitated an environment where kids don’t get bored or detached, so that they can continue learning through the application.
