  • Abstract
    This demonstration will allow visitors to use different applications builded for the ARBlocks, a dynamic blocks platform based on projective augmented reality and tangible user interfaces aiming early childhood educational activities. Those applications, along with the platform itself, were designed to be useful tools for educators to teach general subjects for children, such as mathematical and language skills, as well as develop important abilities, like motor coordination and collaboration.
