| Description: | Published in Int. J. Engng Ed. Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 56±61, 2008. Part of special issue in IJEE on Mobile Technologies in Engineering Education (II). Abstract: "As mobile-learning evolves, it needs an increasing amount of information to be displayed in the device screens. Also, to develop applications to be currently used by a wide range of users, the target devices must be the mobile phones rather than PDA or bigger devices. As the phone screen is very small and many different contents must be shown, a new approach is needed to join both requirements. This paper presents a proposal for the use of 3D worlds to enhance the interface of mobile-learning applications. Some specific test results are shown for every component available to construct 3D worlds. The result is an expanded interface where more information is displayed in the same space related to the subjective 3D perspective." |

Conclusions: "The main conclusion is that 3D worlds can be very useful in the creation of mobile-learning applications. They allow the creation of environments where the users can retain on the small screen most of the information needed, and by changing the focus to a different zone will increase the detail level. The proposed measures can help establish the maximum amount of information and zones, and the minimum sizes of zones without focus. The second conclusion is that many problems or limitations will appear during the construction of the tools but the result obtained will justify the effort." |
