Abstract

This paper explores the use of multi-touch interaction in a 3D training environment as a way to enhance learning of sensorimotor skills as well as procedural knowledge. We present a between subjects experiment with 36 participants distributed into 3 groups that use multi-touch interaction, interaction with the physical apparatus, and a control group using basic mouse-based interaction. A post-training test carried out 3 days later evaluated performance in conducting the real world task from memory. Results show that the multitouch interaction and the real world groups had significantly better performance scores than the mouse interaction group, with no significant difference between multi-touch and real world groups. Our results demonstrate that multi-touch interaction trained participants on the task as well as training on the actual equipment, indicating multi-touch interaction is a potential replacement for the physical apparatus when doing procedural training.
