Title
Immersive round-table interface in collaborative learning
Abstract
In Web-based collaborative learning, it is hard for learners to exchange opinions because communication means are too limited. Therefore, learners cannot be immersed in the learning environment. In order for learners to collaborate with others effectively, they need be able to acquire information on the situation, the behavior of others, etc. and feel the atmosphere of the learning environment by grasping the intentions of others. In this paper, we propose an immersive round-table interface in which learners' intentions for focusing on others are reflected by automatically changing camera images of other learners based on the focus degree. Based on the experimental results, the concept of the round-table interface clearly helps learners concentrate on the learning environment and communicate with others naturally.
