Abstract:
The main goal of the Human-Computer Interaction technology is to improve interactions between users and computers by making computers more usable and receptive to the user's needs. This paper focuses on an application of navigation and interaction in a virtual environment using the Wiimote and the Balance Board of Nintendo. The aim is to make the interaction easier for users without any experience of navigation in a virtual world and more efficient for trained users. The application has been developed for the navigation and interaction in the virtual environment of the MediaEvo project. The MediaEvo Project aims at developing a multi-channel and multi-sensory platform for edutainment in Cultural Heritage.
