Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop a system to have an immersive experience in the paleontological environment. The developed system is intended to be used by primary school students to learn paleontology effectively. It induces and stimulates body action of the students and enhances their learning associating with their body experience.
Another purpose of the study is to investigate and develop a method to extract students’ voice, laugh, glee, soliloquy, and so forth during their learning, in situ, remotely without any attached device, such as wireless microphone, to the student. The method must contribute to evaluation of the learning afterward.
