Abstract

In this paper, a real world based interaction metaphor has been adopted to facilitate learning about physical objects in an entertaining fashion. The proposed system incorporates an intuitive video annotation approach in order to catalog and author information about physical learning objects in a scene. The system uses augmented 3D visualization schemes and provides adequate visual cues in order to leverage the hand gesture and voice based interactions with the learning objects. These real world interaction techniques make the system transparent from the young learners and help them to become engaged in their learning activities.
