Multisensory interaction and analytics to enhance smart learning environments: a systematic literature review
This article presents the results of a systematic literature review on how multisensory interactions and the respective analytics can support the use and design of SLEs.
Interaction modalities and children’s learning in multisensory environments: Challenges and trade-offs
This work leverages the capabilities provided by multisensory environments (MSEs) to investigate what are the benefits, challenges, and trade-offs between the various interaction modalities in the context of educational MSEs for children?
Designing Multi Sensory Environments for Children’s Learning: An Analysis of Teachers’ and Researchers’ Perspectives
The goal of this paper is to uncover evidence-based challenges and opportunities, while considering teachers’ experiences.
MOVES: Going beyond hardwired multisensory environments for children
This paper focuses on presenting the MOVES technology, along with details about its rationale, design, and usage.
Modeling interactive smart spaces
This paper explores a human-centered perspective in the design of ISSs, which takes into account some salient characteristics of these systems and introduces new conceptual modeling issues going beyond representing hardware and software
Magika, a multisensory environment for play, education and inclusion
Designed in cooperation with more than 30 specialists at local care centers and primary schools, Magika integrates digital worlds projected on the wall and the floor with a gamut of "smart" physical objects
