Abstract :
We developed star learning environment with magnetic sensors. This environment has three functions. First function is star name teller. When a learner point out a star with the sensor on his/her finger top, the system tells him/her name of the star and constellation with voice. Then, second function is star navigator. If the learner know the name of a star, but he/she does not know where it is in the real sky, the system shows the path from current pointing position to the target star. Third function is constellation tutor. We developed guidance and diagnosis function of constellationspsila shapes with Wii remote controller.
