“…Isbister et al [15] focused on math anxiety and the potential of using 'power poses' or gestures that increase confidence during interactions. There are also several independent teams from across the globe, for instance KinectMath, MathNUI [22] and Learning Math Using Gesture [16] working on introducing Kinect-based application within the classroom environment for teaching more complex mathematical concepts in higher education. Thus, bodily interactions are especially helpful in learning abstract metaphorical concepts [17].…”

Educational games for young children have boomed with the growing abundance of easy to use interfaces, especially on smartphones and tablets. In addition, most major gaming consoles boast of multimodal interaction, including the more novel and immersive gesture-based or bodily interaction; a concept proved by masses of consumers including young children. In this paper, we examine an elementary mathematics learning application that aims to promote a state of flow for children aged between 6-8 years. The application is run on a PC and uses the Microsoft Kinect sensor for motion tracking. It provides gamified approaches to teach the number system between 0-20. Our underlying hypothesis is that kinesthetic learning methods supported by bodily interaction provide leverage to different types of learners.The paper describes the results of two sets (n1=23, n2=44) of pilot tests for exercise application for PC and Kinect. The tools utilized include a short and simplified survey for the children, and another survey and open-ended questionnaire for the teachers. Our key findings relate to the user experience of gesture-based interaction and show how the gesture modality promotes flow. Furthermore, we discuss our preliminary assessment on several learning related themes.

Although online shopping has been very popular recently, customers have some disadvantages such as the impossibility to try the product before buying. Owing to the recent technological advances, people can try on products to be purchased on a virtual mirror. Inspired by this situation, it has been developed a system which users can try handbags on a monitor and see different poses of handbags as if they wear them. Also, users can see different colors of handbags by saying the color that they want to see to the system. In this application, it is taken advantage of Kinect Sensor to follow user motions and hand skeleton joints which is placed on the bag. The voice command recognition is used which is based on correlation method.

“…Natural user interfaces (NUIs) provide a great potential to facilitate new ways of computer enhanced learning; these have the potential to enhance classroom interactions, by increasing learners’ participation, facilitating the teachers’ presentations, and creating opportunities for discussion [1]. Learning with virtual objects integrated into realistic interactive technology has produced a novel digital learning type [2] in recent years and has become a controversial discussion topic in e-learning research.…”

This paper investigates the capability of Kinect sensor as interactive technology and discusses how it can assist and improve teaching and learning. The Kinect sensor is a motion sensor that provides a natural user interface. It was implemented by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video-game console to create a new control-free experience for the user without any intermediary device. The Kinect sensor can enhance kinesthetic pedagogical practices to profit learners with strong bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (body smart). As a learning tool, the Kinect sensor has potential to create interactive games, to increase learner motivation, and to enhance learning efficiency via its multimedia and multisensory capacity. Many students must learn spatial skills to improve learning achievement in science, mathematics, and engineering. This paper will focus on developing the Kinect sensor-assisted game-based learning system with ARCS model to provide kinesthetic pedagogical practices for learning spatial skills, motivating students, and enhancing students' effectiveness. The responses to the System Usability Scale indicated that our system demonstrated usability and learnability. We conclude that the Kinect sensor-assisted learning system promotes the development of students' spatial visualization skills and encourages them to become active learners.
