The Development and Evaluation of a Kinect Sensor Assisted Learning System on the Spatial Visualization Skills

摘要

In this study, we proposed a cubic net assisted learning system by using Kinect sensor technologies for enhancing learners’ spatial ability. The content of the system is based on the geometric learning theory, and 3D real-time objects used to provide the different viewing angle control. The goal of the proposed system is to facilitating learners’ motivation by providing realistic 3D-visual materials and to evaluate the effects of specific operating experiences. As the advantages of Kinect SDK (Software Development Kit), our system employs body and depth tracking function to help learners using their hand to operate objects. The result of the System Usability Scale (SUS) showed that our system is usability and learnability. According to the evaluation results, we concluded that Kinect sensor assisted learning system not only could promote in developing the students’ spatial visualization skills, but also encourage them to become the active learner.
