Using visual interfaces in human-computer interaction
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In response to the decreasing interest in the environment discovery of and direct users interpersonal communication, primary school children, MyDearDaisy application aims to raise awareness and encourage them to study the evolution of the environment, materialized in the form of flowers gardens, as motivational opportunity for personal interaction. Experimentation of the environmental conditions effects on vegetation occurs through natural gestures of young users, detected through Xbox Kinect technology. Virtual environment modeling, rendering and simulation were performed using Unity platform while MS Visual Studio was used to interpret user gestures and translate these gestures in the virtual environment. Usability study prooved the positive appreciation of the educational and motivational side of the system, complete with intuitive, simple and easy to use interface.
