XBOX Kinect: Affective Teaching And Learning In The Classroom
Computer and video games could be used as an innovative tool for constructive teaching approaches. Based on the activities that are realistic, allows people to build their own understanding and knowledge of the world. It also allows them to gain experience and reflection on their experience. (Vygotsky, 1978). This report examines games that allows players to manipulate artifacts of the game with the physical movement, without the intervention of any kind of controllers and allows players to be immersed in the gaming environment such as XBOX Kinect.
The past few decades began the exploration of how teaching and learning can occur through the use of computer games. In 1987 Chickering and Gamson’s published 7 principles for good practice in Undergraduate …show more content…
Dumas and Redish (1999) mentions four points of the definition of usability where is focusing on the user, people are more productive when using a product, people are busy to complete the task, and the user who decides when this product is easy to use. To assess the usability of immersion, we must take part in the survey through the device.

According to Hinckley and Wigdor (2002), to pick up the physical movements of people, places, or things, a motion sensing input device is able to used. For this reason, the Microsoft Kinect is currently the most advanced motion sensing input device that is available to all consumers. So that to put it more simply, the system can read and react every single body movement. Furthermore, Johnson (2010) stated that Kinect is a very high advance piece of the technology. This is because it has double the bandwidth, 10 times faster than the Xbox in term of CPU Processing power, and 8 times more
