ABSTRACT

‘Chelonia mydas food’ is an interactive system using Kinect skeleton tracking technology. Through people’s bodies, for example, movement of the hands, feet or head, participants can to interact and connect with Chelonia mydas. This presents interactive scenarios for Chelonia mydas and the surrounding environment, and enhances people’s education in the marine environment’s ecology. This research is different from previous book-based learning, and through interactive education increases the interest in learning. The contributions of this research are as follows: (1) to design a prototype system for the ‘Chelonia mydas food’ interactive teaching method experience; (2) on-site observation and participant questionnaires are used to evaluate research performance. Although developed as an interactive prototype system design, it is expected to effectively improve awareness of marine environmental protection’s education.
