| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 數位科技設計學系(含玩具與遊戲設計碩士班) === 102 === An interactive English alphabet learning device has been designed which is a combination of a physical toy and a digital game. In fact it is a virtual game that is played using control technology that includes a single chip, a servo motor, sensors, etc, to achieve image identification. The user has to find English alphabetical characters using a digital camera platform and check words for correctness by image identification. Study of this interactive language learning process shows that it provides both the benefit of playing a physical and a digital game at the same time. This was a one-year study and some items include: (1) The design of the mechanism for the toy, design of the round digital game, the image identification system, the combination of the mechanism and physical toy with the digital game and the design of the optics, mechanics and electronics. (2) Design of the image identification routine and evaluation of the digital content. The location of the English alphabet is transmitted to the computer game by video and is checked for correct spelling by the software. (3) A servo motor is used for the game platform to handle the movement of the alphabet mechanism and is combined with time. (4) A questionnaire and interviews will be used to evaluate the comments given by users about the digital and man-machine interfaces and their needs for game elements and content. This will be used as a basis for modification of the mechanism and the digital game. When this project is completed, we will be able to provide a technical platform for a digital toy for education. In the future this application can be extended for other educational and learning purposes and serve as a reference for a basic commercial application.
