The use of games to promote Computational Thinking (CT) is a popular approach, acknowledged for its well-established and significant benefits. On the other hand, the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) on motivation is fully documented in the educational literature. The aim of the project here reported is to combine VR with gaming to build an effective Learning Resource (LR) to develop CT skills in young people. Our objective is to create an engaging VR game, called Cosmic Observatory, that can be played without special glasses - accessible on desktop or non-immersive Virtual Reality devices. The effects concerning the reality virtualization will be created using the web interface. Cosmic Observatory challenges to develop CT skills, namely pattern recognition abilities, are described. The game architecture is also discussed.

摘要

The use of games to promote Computational Thinking (CT) is a popular approach, acknowledged for its well-established and significant benefits. On the other hand, the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) on motivation is fully documented in the educational literature. The aim of the project here reported is to combine VR with gaming to build an effective Learning Resource (LR) to develop CT skills in young people. Our objective is to create an engaging VR game, called Cosmic Observatory, that can be played without special glasses - accessible on desktop or non-immersive Virtual Reality devices. The effects concerning the reality virtualization will be created using the web interface. Cosmic Observatory challenges to develop CT skills, namely pattern recognition abilities, are described. The game architecture is also discussed.
