Abstract
Online education has become more popular and effective due to the availability of high-speed internet and technological innovations, which allow people from different locations to access educational resources and opportunities. However, online classes often face challenges such as limited interactivity and display options, which can affect the quality and effectiveness of the online learning experience. In this article, we propose GestureTeach, a new pedagogical paradigm that enables free handwriting interaction and animation generation for online teaching. GestureTeach uses gestures as a natural and intuitive way of interaction, which enhances the teacher's intention expression and the student's engagement. GestureTeach also generates animations from handwritten sketches, which improves the display effects of the interaction and the student's knowledge comprehension. We conducted a two-stage study with 15 teachers and 90 students to evaluate the effectiveness of GestureTeach in facilitating classroom interaction. The results show that GestureTeach is preferred by both teachers and students over traditional online teaching methods and has the potential to transform the online teaching landscape by providing a seamless and interactive experience.
期刊介绍:
With the advent of very powerful PCs and high-end graphics cards, there has been an incredible development in Virtual Worlds, real-time computer animation and simulation, games. But at the same time, new and cheaper Virtual Reality devices have appeared allowing an interaction with these real-time Virtual Worlds and even with real worlds through Augmented Reality. Three-dimensional characters, especially Virtual Humans are now of an exceptional quality, which allows to use them in the movie industry. But this is only a beginning, as with the development of Artificial Intelligence and Agent technology, these characters will become more and more autonomous and even intelligent. They will inhabit the Virtual Worlds in a Virtual Life together with animals and plants.
