A design for children-oriented human-computer interaction

Abstract

Although domestic and international children-oriented Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researches, based on a particular technology, have made a lot of success, there is no a unified structure for HCI. In this paper, we put forward WisPad (a structure for children-oriented HCI) based on children-oriented HCI design principles. WisPad integrates the tangible user interface, gesture interaction, Avatar-based HCI, high-level semantics interactive technology and realizes the natural interaction between children and computer. Then we develop a children's video game (iNature) to verify the structure. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
