CarettaKids

CarettaKids is the extented version of Caretta. CarettaKids is used for enhancing school children’s collaborative learning about urban planning and environmental issues in face-to-face settings. In CarettaKids, a group of children sits around a multiple input device (a sensing board) and manipulates physical pieces in an immersive environment. Each of the children is also provided with a PDA for her own personal space. Children in CarettaKids can conduct design tasks collaboratively in the shared space and individually in their own personal spaces. In order for children to seamlessly work on both spaces, CarettaKids allows the children to transition between two spaces in an intuitive manner.
