The Design

About Space Center Léierspill

Weltraumzenter ass e immersivt Léierspill, dat um Entrée vun enger Bibliothéik installéiert ass. D'Spill gëtt op eng Mauer projizéiert, déi zéng Meter breet an 3,8 Meter héich ass. Kanner starten Zuelenraketen fir e Klassifikatiounsplanéit ze fannen an eng Bibliothéiksrees ze starten. Um Enn vum Spill weist eng Kaart, wou d'Bicher, déi zu der ausgewielter Klassifikatiounsnummer passen, plazéiert sinn. D'Design léiert d'Bedeitung vun de Klassifikatiounsnummeren duerch Spill an enger ënnerstëtzender Atmosphär. D'Zil ass et, d'Motivatioun ze stäerken an de Kanner ze hëllefen, Bicher selwer ze fannen.

Unique Properties: The objective of the project is to create a fun environment, which children can immerse themselves in interactive games as well as learn how to use the classification numbers as clues in order to find books. This design aims to raise children’s motivation through gamification learning. Children are taught about the meaning of classification number in a supportive atmosphere and encouraged to find books by themselves.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 10m x Height 3.8m after project on a wall

Production Technology: HARDWARE: computer, CCD cameras, projectors, infrared lamps, directional speaker, mixer amplifier
Game: Unity, Photoshop
Design Challenge: There are few limitations during the whole process. One of the challenges was coming out with an idea that matches the original hardware equipment in the library. Because of the old CCD cameras and the narrow corridor space, the users' motion can't be too fast or too complicated, otherwise, the computer can't detect accurately. However, we made it eventually and all the efforts worth.
Research: The survey was answered by 253 people who had to answer questions regarding their experience and usability after playing the game. This research explores the eight factors that affect flow experience and perceived using on children game-based learning and discusses the relationship between the factors through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
Inspiration: This project is a collaboration between National Library of Public Information and National Taipei University of Technology Department of Interaction Design. The main goal of this project is to construct smart libraries for natives to experience information content and innovative services.
Project Duration: This project is located in the National Library of Public Information in Taichung, Taiwan since 2017.
Operation Flow: This immersive learning game transforms library entrance into a space center that allows children to launch number-rockets to find the classification planet and unfold the library journey. At the end of the game, children will see a map of this library that tells where are the books that match the classification number they just choose. So they can easily understand the meaning of these number and build their cognitive map in their heart.
