Abstract :
Teachers attempt to use science simulation materials in high school. The edutainment materials also attract attention for the educational effect. We propose Interlude, which is a framework of 3D CG simulation materials for dynamics experiment. It uses HI input devices and VR technology. It offers demonstrations of dynamics phenomena, virtual experiments with various parameters, and game style exercises. The purpose of our research is to promote interest and concern of dynamics for students, and to bring up physical intuition. In this paper, we introduce the aspect model and usage model of Interlude materials. We also design the execution system.
