SmalLab - Situated Multimedia Arts Interactive Learning - one way to develop kinetic learning ideas in 3D

Interactive learning - primary and middle school students - out of their seats, in kinetic learning.
Summary:
1. First video shows example.
2. For developers - free download of 3d game engine
3. Ideas of what to put in it?
4. To make it math/science, it needs numbers and measurement.
Flow brings embodied learning to any existing Interactive Whiteboard or projection surface. Using motion-capture technology - similar to the Xbox Kinect™ - students’ bodies are the interface in Flow. Students use their hands in real 3D space to manipulate images, sounds, text, and graphics. This kinesthetic engagement opens new pathways to learning.

For example, in the Color Mixer Scenario, groups of three students collaborate control the amount of red, green, and blue light that is mixed in a virtual spotlight.  By raising and lowering their arms, they can see a dynamic mix of colors, hear the impact of their actions, and feel the relationship between gesture and how a variable changes.

2. SMALLab Learning Developer Program has free downloads of the Unity 3D game engine and they are looking for ideas!

3. Comment with your ideas for apps to develop!

This is centered in Hollywood, CA, but a system was bought by a local school system (Elizabeth, PA) and McKeesport, PA, very close to me, will soon be adding the $34,000 system! http://triblive.com/neighborhoods/yourmckeesport/yourmckeesportmore/4680784-74/smallab-classroom-learning#axzz2ejtj50p6
