Abstract

The integration of technology in elementary education offers innovative ways to enhance learning. One such advancement is the use of three-dimensional holograms (3DH), which provide immersive displays that merge seamlessly with the learner’s environment, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. Educators have found that 3D visual tools significantly improve student comprehension, with 94.4% agreeing in a preliminary study. However, using interactive 3D holography alone has limitations, such as the inability for students to physically touch or manipulate holographic objects. To address this, Active Learning with Holo-Kid (ALHK) is introduced as a desktop application for elementary school students (grades 1 to 6). ALHK combines Leap Motion technology’s precision with interactive 3D holography to overcome these limitations. The combination allows students to interact with virtual objects in a more immersive and realistic manner. Holograms provide visual representation, while Leap Motion enables precise gesture recognition and hand tracking, resulting in a seamless and intuitive user experience. Initial evaluations demonstrate improved student engagement and comprehension. Future iterations aim to enhance scalability by incorporating features like custom object upload, multi-user interaction, and broader age applicability. ALHK shows promise as a tool for creating an immersive and intuitive learning environment using 3D holograms and interactive technology in elementary education.
