The Design and Evaluation of Embodied Interfaces for Supporting Spatial Ability

Abstract

Shown in many longitudinal studies, spatial ability is important to learning and career success. This paper, inspired by [2,14], presents the 2nd generation of TASC (Tangibles for Augmenting Spatial Cognition) to illustrate how (re)design lessons can be learned, how existing evaluation methods can be applied, and how new evaluations may be generated or envisioned, when a TEI (tangible and embodied interaction) system is built to study spatial ability.
