Abstract

Importance and necessity is enlarged due to globalization. So, English education is diverse and recently applies AR(Augmented Reality) technology to offer immersion and interest. Contents in this paper are Mobile AR contents for training infant English cognition. Our system displays teaching aid objects into 3D models, lets infants listen to English conversation and teaches them everyday English like a play. Considering infants that like games, this system adds an English game about each object of teach aids. To attract infants and parents interest persistingly, We give them immersion and interest by suggesting a different event at each step.

국제화로 인한 영어의 중요성과 필요성이 확대되고 있다. 이로 인해 다양하게 영어 교육이 이루어지고 있으며, 최근에는 몰입감과 흥미감을 위하여 증강현실 기술을 활용하고 있다. 본 콘텐츠는 유아 영어 인지 능력개발을 위한 모바일 AR 콘텐츠이다. 교구의 사물을 3D 모델로 모바일 폰에서 출력 가능하며, 간단한 일상회화를 들려줌으로 아이들에게 생활영어를 놀이처럼 익히게 한다. 그리고 게임을 좋아하는 아이들의 특성을 고려하여 각 사물에 영어게임을 추가한다. 또한 아이와 부모님들의 관심을 계속적으로 유지하기 위하여 각 단계별 게임의 이벤트를 다르게 표현하여 흥미도와 몰입감을 제공한다.
