摘要

Technology driven modern education system highly depends on the devices which is not an exception in the classrooms. These technological advancements pave new opportunities for creating innovative methods of collaboration depending on gesticulations, body-movements and management of real-objects enhancing higher degree of engagement in classroom. Tangible user interfaces can be noteworthy to the educational environment by empowering the students to interact with virtual objects augmented with the computing power. In this paper, we proposed a system specifying how TUI can be a better alternative in regular classroom teaching learning and explore various possibilities of TUI that can enhance the learning outcome with spontaneous learning zeal. The system also outlines the solution to various problems associated with quality learning in elementary classes. Investigative, design engrossed studies have shown that TUI's offer educational aids, due to the added haptic dimension, shared-space and improved approachability which could be used effectively in collective circumstances.
