Abstract :
The study reports a highly interactive classroom environment in which the students do not use the desktop, laptop or PDA with keyboard, mouse, or pen, but the hand-motion as an input method. The classroom setting is no more one student with one computer, but the whole class with a large shared display and all the students interact with their peers on the display waving their hand and competing with each other simultaneously. Twelve undergraduate students were involved in this study, and their competitive preferences were elaborated. The usability test indicated that the system was acceptable, and the sociability evaluation showed that the classroom climate was changed dramatically.
