“…Cada usuario tiene la capacidad de habitarlo por tiempo indefinido haciendo uso de un avatar o personaje. La interacción con un personaje virtual aumenta la posibilidad de inmersión del usuario, con ello se abre una nueva perspectiva al aceptar roles de juego [27], de esta manera realizar ejercicios de articulación por medio de juegos interactivos, que le ayuden a mejorar las habilidades articulatorias.…”

Access and use of Information and CommunicationsTechnology (ICT) provides an opportunity for people with or without disability to communicate and interact. Virtual worlds may also be a means of empowerment for develop some skills and overcome some difficulties. This paper presents a design project where the goal was to develop a virtual world for supporting interaction of children with dyslalia. Dyslalia is pronunciation disorders and the most common problems in children. The main idea is to studying advantages of virtual worlds and how approaches it to additional resource in therapy of children with dyslalia. Over the years has been notorious acceptance that virtual worlds have had from users, reason why this work seeks to design and develop a prototype of virtual world according to the needs involved in dyslalia therapies.Index Term -Dyslalia, phonemes, symphons, virtual world. I. INTRODUCIÓNDesde que los problemas del habla en los individuos pueden deberse a diferentes causas, cada día es más notoria la necesidad de los especialistas por disponer de herramientas que los apoyen en sus terapias. Los avances que ha habido en los últimos años en el área de las tecnologías de información y las comunicaciones permiten crear herramientas alternativas que apoyen la labor que realizan los especialistas con los afectados por estos trastornos.Aún cuando las manifestaciones del habla es una cualidad innata con la que nacen los seres humanos [1], la expresión oral del habla se va desarrollando desde la infancia, se convierte en un instrumento importante y fundamental para la comunicación y la actividad cognoscitiva del individuo [2], por lo que es importante realizar las correcciones adecuadas cuando este desarrollo no se manifiesta correctamente de acuerdo con la edad del niño.Tomando en cuenta los avances de la tecnología se tiene como finalidad crear un recurso de apoyo a las terapias en los niños con problemas del habla, afecciones en las cuales la persona tiene dificultad para crear o formar los sonidos al momento de comunicarse con otros [3].Uno de los problemas más comunes en edad preescolar es el de la dislalia [4], [5], también conocido como problemas de pronunciación. La Dislalia es un trastorno en la articulación de algunos fonemas, produciéndose alteración de algunos sonidos concretos al hablar, ya sea por omisión, sustitución, distorsión de algunos de estos fonemas de forma improcedente al hablar [6]. Las Dislalias son muy frecuentes en los primeros años de vida, resolviéndose algunas espontáneamente y otros deben ser tratados por el especialista.Teniendo en cuenta lo antes expuesto se propone abordar la dislalia a través de un mundo virtual. En este mundo virtual se incorpora actividades para la estimulación de la articulación de los fonemas y sifones que causan mayor dificultad. Además, se busca que los niños puedan realizar actividades individualmente o en grupo desde los centros escolares o de atención, desde casa para complementar la labor que realizan los terapeutas.Este trabajo explora las posibilidades...

“…The last stage in the process is the importing of the 3D map into a desktop virtual reality environment, where users are able (via avatars) to follow the road trip narrative in comic strip photo form, as plotted in (x, y, t) space. OpenSimulator was the virtual environment (VE) used for our experiment, a free emulation of the popular Second Life (which has been used to implement a classroom-based storytelling environment [57]). The underlying terrain was derived from GTopo30 data.…”

“…Digital storytelling through virtual environments (with AI agents as storytellers) is not a new idea [56]. An example in the classroom environment [57] aimed to make the virtual classroom as naturalistic as the real one. Shaw's "The Legible City" is an example of narrative in a virtual environment, with buildings constructed of 3D text [58].…”

Abstract:On the basis of a shared emphasis on time as well as space, this paper argues for introducing elements of comic art into cartography, specifically the mapped comic, with an illustrated strip literally plotted and placed in a 3D time geographic virtual world. This approach is situated within current initiatives regarding the relationship between cartography and art, given that comics are a type of sequential art. Two examples demonstrate that the approach succeeds as a way of representing the geometry of a story without compromising emotional content. Comic conventions neatly package narrative geography for visual deployment. An example demonstrating the expressiveness of comic art principles when applied to maps (maps as comics) is discussed.

Story telling is a process of conveying events by words, images and sounds. It has been used in every culture as a means of entertainment, education or for instilling moral values. The power of story telling has now been realized by computer science and software engineering community. It has been argued that story telling will enable the actual requirement to be identified earlier in the software development process. This approach has also been identified as one of the most suitable approach for end-user software development. A number of software development environment based on story telling approach have been developed, such as Storytelling Alice and JPie. Storytelling Alice is a programming environment that enables end-users (in this case students) to create computer applications by creating short 3D animated movies. JPie is a programming environment that was designed to enable endusers to develop programs by using Java programming language. In this paper, we describe the design of a story telling approach for blocks integration in Block-Based Software Development Environment. A block is basically a single-layer software component that can perform a specific function. It is assumed that in this environment, there will be a large number of blocks to be used by the end-users through story telling approach. Endusers can develop applications by writing instructions for selecting, customizing and combining software blocks to form a learning application as target application.
