A Conceptual Framework for Mixed Reality Environments: Designing Novel Learning Activities for Young Children
Investigates user experiences and understanding mixed realities in differing physical and digital forms. Explores novel learning/activity spaces and environments for children.
Children were able to manipulate physical artefacts (coloured blocks) to create digital results.
This research is further advanced, but still relevant to the LumiBlocks project. The study uses older demographics, yet the complex concepts are similar. LumiBlocks aims to create an experimental learning environment where toddler/young children are able to explore and differentiate 2D to 3D shapes with positive response.
