碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工業設計學系碩博士班 === 98 === In the 21st century, because of the technology progression, the computer has become a part of most people daily life. People use computer to carry on each kind of activity frequently. In the future, the information technology will integrate into school teaching, so art education will be influenced definitely. We take the intuition creation as a starting point in this research. First, the situation was investigated when child use traditional tools to draw pictures. The function of drawing system for children was defined according to spot observation, questionnaire interviews, opinions of specialized teachers. Second, by using the Usability Engineering the children’s demand was discussed when they operate different pointing devices. In order to control drawing function, the result from transformation and movement by the hand signal makes the invisible control interface of pointing device the most suitable document. Third, combination of vision sign rule and sign language and discussion with experts construct the gesture movement image. Finally, carrying on operation of drawing system by gesture movement and visual interface feedback and using technique of experiment confirm the system performance criteria. Also, we look for system design specifications and the correcting directions. At the same time, the subjective feeling of participants was thoroughly investigated. In the future, we provide the reference for company to develop the children drawing system. The experiment results show that the Gesture Movement Drawing system performance is superior to Graphical User Interface (GUI) system. The decrease in the time of moving, visual searching and transferring results in intuitive control setting. On the other hand, the result of participants’ subjective scale indicates that the Gesture Movement Drawing system is more recognizable, intuitive and interesting, and could be more rapidly controlled than GUI. Therefore, it illustrates the feasibility to use Gesture Movement Drawing system in the child drawing stage.
