ST4. Designing with Gesture and Interactivity for XR

Overview

This track will highlight how the body and gesture can be used to learn in immersive environments. The technology could be augmented, virtual, or mixed reality (now called XR). There is also an interest in haptics. Thus, gloves, hacked controllers, or other tactile simulators are of interest, if they are used to further learning. Theory talks may be accepted; however, the track is primarily focused on research studies that use the principles of embodied cognition meshed with XR to engage learners in formal and informal environments.
