Towards Construction Kits for Virtual World Artifacts
نویسنده
چکیده
Playing with physical construction kits (Legos, Erector sets, Fischer-Technik, etc.) is a good way to build physical intuitions and spark interest in technical fields. Construction kits for virtual artifacts could have similar benefits, with complementary advantages and disadvantages. Yet we currently do not have construction kits for virtual analogs of physical artifacts that provide the same engagement as physical kits. This examines why, and some of the technical barriers that must be overcome to create such systems. essay

متن کاملComplex Construction Kits for Coupled Real and Virtual Engineering Workspaces
A concept of complex objects, being artifacts that have one real physical part and several virtual parts representing certain aspects of the object, is introduced. These parts are coupled by bi-directional double links of control and view, enabling a synchronous update of all part, if one of them is changed by user action or internal events. With a construction kit, being a set of compatible co...
متن کاملIntegrating Tangible and Virtual Construction Kits for Teaching Mechatronics Design
In this paper, an experimentation lab kit for mechatronics training and control learning is proposed, which integrates tangible and virtual building blocks using the concept of interchangeable components. Interchangeable components represent either real physical or virtual devices or software. The proposed solution opens interoperability with different construction sets allowing the constructio...
متن کاملVirtual Spaces as Artifacts: Implications for the Design of Educational CVEs
Space is important for learning and socializing. Cyberworlds provide a new space for socialization and communication with a great degree of flexibility, allowing users to create and manipulate virtual land. This suggests considering virtual spaces as artifacts. In this paper we use different theoretical approaches on artifacts and experiences of usage of a virtual world we have created to revis...
