The Virtual Playground

The Virtu

al Playground is an engaging simulation environment for children between 9 and 12 y. old, which is used for research in evaluating interactivity in virtual environments for learning. Children wear 3D glasses and use a 3D computer mouse (called a "wand") to design a virtual playground. In this playground, the child user assumes the role of a designer that must carry out tasks, such as planning the layout of the playground by modifying, resizing and placing its various elements. These tasks require solving mathematical fraction problems.
