Funding Scheme
Supervisor: Dr. Kuo, Y.H. (Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering)
Project information
Project descriptions
This project looks into VR’s potential as a Chinese language learning tool for students whose first language is other than Chinese. Particularly, the study focuses on the efficiency of VR based educational games to raise Hong Kong’s non-Chinese local secondary school students’ confidence in interacting in Chinese and using it for common daily tasks. The project is done in collaboration with IBEL – a center that provides educational support to underprivileged non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) communities in Hong Kong.
Project innovation
As the deliverable of this project, 2 VR games were built and tested with the end users.
