Abstract(s)
Kindergarten children are a very special class of
users, since they are in a primary stage of life, when they must
learn how to live in society, e.g. to listen and respect the others’
opinions, share the same objects and also help each other. This
study presents an Augmented Reality game, in which kinder garten children were able to collaborate in a spontaneous way
supported by motivation, enjoyment and curiosity. This game
allows children to explore concepts like the animals and the en vironments they live in by using Augmented Reality markers and
a wooden board. These markers are the game pieces and through
them children are able to manipulate 3D virtual models.
Experiments were performed with several classes of students in
different schools. Results suggest that the game is effective in
maintaining high levels of motivation and collaboration among
children, particularly when using immediate feedback.
