Abstract

This paper presents a software environment for children at the age of four to six years. It is designed to teach navigational knowledge in a virtual environment. A prototype of a prop based input device is proposed in this regard. We report on a study at a day-care centre that was conducted to compare cursor and mouse control to the prototype. Furthermore the evaluation examined whether a transfer of knowledge from a virtual environment to a real world situation is discernible. It became obvious that cursor and mouse control is too difficult for children at the predefined age. A transfer of knowledge might be facilitated by using tangible user interfaces.
