The Development of Text to Scene Tool for Aiding Children´s Spatial Knowledge Understanding and Language Learning

Virtual environment has been widely adapted from the military simulation and scientific visualization realm into more multidisciplinary areas, such as education, art and entertainment. It is an ideal environment for both presenting and learning spatial information. In this paper we first present our approach to generate 3D scene based on text description. It then reports the evaluation for one of its application, we finally discuss the results obtained from experiments made using the system, and to investigate the potential that could be evolved as a tool for children to enhance their spatial knowledge and improve their interesting of learning language.
