M-learning enhancement using 3D worlds

Abstract:

As mobile-learning evolves, it needs an increasing amount of information to be displayed in the device screens. Also, to develop applications to be currently used by a wide range of users, the target devices must be the mobile phones rather than PDA or bigger devices. As the phone screen is very small and many different contents must be shown, a new approach is needed to join both requirements. This paper presents a proposal for the use of 3D worlds to enhance the interface of mobile-learning applications. Some specific test results are shown for every component available to construct 3D worlds. The result is an expanded interface where more information is displayed in the same space related to the subjective 3D perspective. © 2008 TEMPUS Publications.
