Application Infrared Emitter as Interactive Interface on Teaching Material Design for Children

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study attempts to make use wii remote and infrared light emitter as an interactive interface for children on their activities. Using flash software to design teaching materials with the assistance of interactive device could also be developed in the children’s body activities and knowledge. When detected by a wii remote and infrared (IR emitter) device, corresponding information appears on a screen to increase the interaction of assistive technology aimed at children by adopting an enhanced learning process. This study is divided into training and testing steps. The training step allows researchers to learn how to created relative teaching materials for children with learning body coordination. The participants are children in elementary school and kindergarten in the testing step. In this study, the devices relied upon friendly design, reducing the loading from their learning process and enhance their learning motivation.
