Outline of Final Research Achievements

A goal of this study is to design an object-oriented three-dimensional programming environment that utilizes three-dimensional space for programming learning in computer education. To accomplish this, the study focuses on user interfaces of a three-dimensional programming environment. New interfaces are designed, developed and evaluated which utilize hand/finger gestures and multi-touch operations on a tablet computer held by one hand. This study investigates body gestures, touch interfaces, and collaborative programming. Evaluation results show new findings and clarifies future work.
