Abstract :
This paper introduces a suit of advanced human-machine interface (HMI) with gesture interaction. Related hardware component of the system and used signal processing methods are illustrated. The design of embodied conversational geography teaching system which applies this HMI system to game-based learning is described. Finally, the advantages and meanings of the usage of this geography teaching system with gesture interaction are analyzed and presented.
