Abstract

The paper develops Child-Computer Interaction (CCI) for 86 children including 42 boys and 44 girls aged 4-6 out of four kindergartens in Taipei City, Taiwan. CCIe is an implication of embodied interaction with Kinect. CCIt is tactile interaction with iPad. CCIm is a multimodal interaction, an innovative integration of iPad and Kinect. The effectiveness of the CCI is evaluated by problemsolving test and the differences of the CCI are also compared by ANOVA and posteriori comparison. Findings indicate that the CCI enhances problem-solving. Pairing comparisons of the CCI are significantly correlated.
