To answer the research questions that guide this research, a
case study was implemented, involving a series of workshop
sessions with children, in which 21 children used a version
of HuVi that had been previously tested in the laboratory
and pilot-tested. During the case study, the intrinsic
motivation, the usability, the accomplishment of the
learning objectives, and the playful-educational experience
in general were researched. The interest of Children, and
their attention to different visual and auditive stimulations,
and their interaction with them were analyzed.
The results obtained show that the HuVi generated a high
motivation in children who played repeatedly on a voluntary
basis, achieved the recovery of knowledge that was sought
to work, and also promoted play and fun. The visual and
auditory stimulation of the HuVi was highlighted by the
children. Aspects to be improved were also observed.
Future Research Lines
1. To deepen the case study by expanding the sample and
the population worked. With the purpose of enriching the
conclusions obtained at the moment.
2. Continue to develop implementation, based on the
integration of new themes and new cultural heritages. The
findings and studies carried out in this thesis will allow
for more justified design decisions for those involved in its
development.
3. To develop methodologies and strategies for designing
educational VR applications and games that are based
on the learning theories that substantiate the usefulness
of this technology and the results found in the literature
analysis. This line of work will be addressed by the student
throughout her PhD.
