“…Perdana (2014) used Leap Motion to develop an alternative method for teaching children music and performance, concluding that there isn't an ideal motion recognition music based application, and criticising Leap Motion's low range and lack of accuracy (Potter, Araullo, & Carter 2013).…”

Gestural interaction devices emerged and originated various studies on multimodal human-computer interaction to improve user experience. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the use of these devices to enhance learning.We present an exploratory study which analysed the user experience with a multimodal immersive videogame prototype, based on a Portuguese historical/cultural episode. Evaluation tests took place in high school environments and public videogaming events. Two users would be present simultaneously in the same virtual reality environment: one as the helmsman aboard Vasco da Gama's XV-century Portuguese ship, another as the mythical Adamastor stone giant at the Cape of Good Hope. The helmsman player wore a virtual reality headset to explore the environment, whereas the giant player used body motion to control the giant, and observed results on a screen, with no headset. This allowed a preliminary characterization of user experience, identifying challenges and potential use of these devices in multi-user virtual learning contexts. We also discuss the combined use of such devices, towards future development of similar systems, and its implications on learning improvement through multimodal human-computer interaction.

“…In [12], the authors estimated the accuracy and repeatability of hand position measurement and found that this sensor outperforms competitive solutions with a similar price range. In [13], the sensor's usefulness for recognizing Australian Sign Language was assessed. Hand shapes for which the sensor does not work were identified.…”

“…It is expected that sensors for the acquisition of hands skeletal data will be improved soon. Therefore, work is underway to use them to recognize sign languages: American [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], Arabic [25][26][27][28], Australian [13], Indian [29][30][31], Mexican [32], Pakistani [33], and Polish [34].…”

In this paper, a method for the recognition of static hand postures based on skeletal data was presented. A novel descriptor was proposed. It encodes information about distances between particular hand points. Five different classifiers were tested, including four common methods and a proposed modification of nearest neighbor classifier, which can distinguish between posture classes differing mostly in hand orientation. The experiments were performed using three challenging datasets of gestures from Polish and American Sign Languages. The proposed method was compared with other approaches found in the literature. It outperforms every compared method, including our previous work, in terms of recognition rate.

“…Leigh Ellen Potter will discuss user experience when interacting with emerging technology. These technologies often enable new interaction mechanisms through the use of innovative device capabilities [8]. Established interaction mechanisms may not work effectively with these emerging technologies, affecting the user experience.…”

The purpose of this panel is to explore the potential for emerging technology to engender social change. Technology is transformative, and has already seen innovative application in business and industry, and of course in relation to society and social networking. We will discuss the current state of 'emerging technology', and several perspectives of considerations with emerging technologies and society. We will describe some current applications of emerging technology in a range of fields, in order to identify the potential for emerging technology to support social change. Our goal is to open discussions about opportunities for emerging technology, and practical applications or approaches to how these opportunities can be exploited.
