About Space Center 学习游戏

太空中心是一款安装在图书馆入口处的沉浸式学习游戏。游戏画面投影在一面宽十米、高3.8米的墙面上。孩子们发射数字火箭去寻找分类星球,由此开启一段图书馆之旅。游戏结束时,地图会显示与所选分类号相对应的图书摆放位置。该设计在轻松友好的氛围中通过游戏方式,让孩子们理解图书分类号的含义。其目标是提升孩子们的学习动力,并帮助他们学会自主查找图书。

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.
