Multi-sensor Interactive Systems for Embodied Learning Games.

This paper explores the use of modern sensor technologies for physical interaction in educational games and interactive spaces. The paper presents a prototype of an educational game developed using a motion capture controller and two biofeedback sensors (EEG, ECG), proposing a generic architecture for multi-sensor interactive spaces. Target of this research is to study further the potential effect of such technologies on educational interactive games, in two aspects: i) on the involvement of human body and motion in the process of learning, and recall of knowledge, ii) on assisting the development of basic social emotional competencies, through the enhanced social affordances of embodied games.
