Problem Description
Procedural knowledge is needed in all kinds of situations to accomplish tasks
with devices. Computer based learning tools for learning such procedural
knowledge assists and aids in the process of training users in the operation
of devices. Our aim with this project is to investigate how such learning
tools can enhance both the initial learning process and refresh partly, or
fully, forgotten knowledge. This will be accomplished through using mobile
devices with multitouch displays to allow for a greater interaction between
the user and the learning tool than static content can provide.
Our project is mainly based on demonstration of concepts using a three dimensional virtual representation of a real-life device that reacts to input from
the user, such as gestures and natural language. The procedural knowledge
is modeled using GOMS. Our focus will be on the 3D modeling of a device and the integration with GOMS, use of multitouch technologies in the
interaction, and mobile devices.
