Detailed Description

In today’s age, children are using computers extensively. They are studying from the Internet, interactive CDs, playing video games, etc. Here the interaction is between the computer and the mind, physical senses, etc. In fact, knowing computers is one of the basic criteria in the school curriculum. Using the Internet, interactive CD's, and playing computer games has encouraged the child to sit in front of the computers, which has increased the health-related problems like weak eyesight, obesity, etc. This has also reduced a child's physical activities. On the contrary, it has good points also, like information can be sought very easily on various subjects with one click. Searching for particular information is very easy and less time-consuming on the internet. Interactive sites and CDs teach and entertain children. Today’s technological advancement reduces effort, but this project will try to increase physical and mental activity by using the emerging technology. My intention in this project is to make interaction between children and computers physical. This can be done through visual, auditory, and tactile interaction, which will give children the opportunity to have fun, play, explore, and be creative by the action of the child’s own physical movements.
