The Design And Development Of The Educational Game For Ceramic Relics Restoration Based On Somatosensory Interaction Technology

In 2014,New Media Consortium and EDUCAUSE predicted that Games and Gaming would be digital support strategy in the field of Higher Education and research hotspots in the category of educational technology in the next 2-3 years.Ceramic Relics Restoration is the main content to design educational game,choosing a somatosensory interactive device as mutual information input mode,and combined with Virtual Reality(VR)development software.To make learners in the virtual educational game,they can complete the process of knowledge and skills learning and improve learning interest and stimulate learning initiative by doing and playing.For those reasons,in the first chapter,using the literature research to collect,organize,analysis the literature about educational games,somatosensory interaction technology and ceramic relics restoration,summary the research status and development trend of them.Carding the related theories and typical instances of educational games in the second chapter,then proposing the general method and principles of design and development of the educational game based on somatosensory interaction technology in the third chapter.In the fourth chapter,the third year undergraduate students whose majors are Heritage and Museum Studies are the learners and their textbook of ceramic relics restoration is the teaching content,designing the educational game for ceramic relics restoration based on somatosensory interaction technology.The fifth chapter discusses the development of the case with Unity and Leap Motion.And the key technologies used in the development process are discussed in details.It has changed the way of interaction of the traditional educational games,increased the interest of the learners in the learning process,and enhanced the real feelings of the learners.On the other hand,the educational game case provides new ideas and references for the application of educational games and somatosensory interactive technology and staffs.
