Description

Technical field

Educational game refers to cognitive and educational games, can be used as a means for entertainment and education for children of any age. In particular, for teaching drawing, writing, and increasing interest in the study of various subjects, for example, biology, astronomy, design and other general subjects.

State of the art

The known solution is "a way to develop students' creative abilities" including modeling characters on a material medium using templates of the same shape, but of different sizes. Design patterns are made by moving patterns on the surface of the information carrier. A simulated and constructed figure is cut out, transferred to a pre-prepared information carrier of the desired color and glued. Give the character a finished look by applying individual elements and details.

The disadvantage of this solution is that the solution has a classic visual result in the form of a carrier with a glued or drawn pattern created by the student and not giving further impressive and memorable visual-tactile transformation. (RU 2378710, http://new.fips.ru)

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The claimed solution is aimed at simplifying the way of developing creative abilities when using a simpler didactic aid, as well as obtaining a non-standard final result of the work performed in the form of a transformation of a planar product into a volume animated image that responds to physical contact. In the case of a group educational process, the method should allow combining the results of several students into one common.

The claimed solution according to the first embodiment of FIG. 1-3 is based on the usual process of decorating a template, in particular, on coloring ready-made silhouettes and adding small details to them.

Dressing is a process involving experiments, creativity, individual vision of objects. It is in the process of work that the child learns to perceive his mistakes, to create something new and unique.

The method according to the first embodiment includes the following steps. At least one student of FIG. 1, selects one of his own tastes from ready-made silhouettes (I) and decorates (II). Next, the decorated silhouette is scanned and transformed into a three-dimensional animated body using the “revitalization” device, taking into account the decor applied by the student (III), and displays it on the screen (IV) of FIG. 1, FIG. 2.

In the framework of the claimed decision according to the first embodiment, the silhouette (1) is understood as follows: for example, a sheet of paper on which the silhouette outline (1.1) of FIG. 1 object of decoration, or directly a sheet in the form of a silhouette, or several sheets in the form of silhouettes of individual parts of the whole.

As part of the claimed solution, decoration means any application of decoration, for example, coloring with pencils (5) of FIG. 1 and / or with crayons and / or paints and / or felt-tip pens, including colored ones, decoration can also be done by application.

In particular cases, the decoration may include additional elements of elaboration and / or small details inside the silhouette (1.1).

The method according to the second embodiment includes the following steps. At least one student models a voluminous subject on the topic of training, from ready-made designer elements with a combination of spike-groove (lego) parts. Next, the simulated object, the revitalization device (3) scans, converts it into a volumetric animated image (III) (8.1.1) and displays it on the screen (IV).

A volumetric image in all versions is understood to mean that the original product, decorated or modeled, is converted into an image of a volumetric animated figure with recognizable silhouettes, in which some elements have a separate volume of FIG. 2. For example, according to the first embodiment, the silhouette for decoration was a sheet of paper with the silhouette of a butterfly (1.1) of FIG. 1 with wings, body, head and antennae, in a volumetric figure transformed into an image, all these elements have an independent volume of figure 2. If the silhouette for decoration was a few sheets in the form of a silhouette, templates, parts of the whole, then in a converted form all these elements have a volume and are combined into a whole.

By animation, it is understood that the transformed silhouette / silhouettes or the modeled volumetric element into a volumetric animated image (4.1.1) capable of moving around the screen (4) of FIG. 2 in any direction, make turns in all planes, i.e. the initial silhouette is represented only by a side view, and the final animated one can rotate in different ways: front, back, three quarters, at any angle. In this case, individual elements of the figure can make movements: legs are rearranged, fins move, wings make flapping, that is, make movements depending on the type of element.

In the framework of the claimed solution in all embodiments, the quality of the screen (4) of FIG. 1, 2, 3, a projector screen and / or wall may protrude.

It should be noted that a three-dimensional animated image is able to respond to physical contact, rotate, move, and accelerate from touch.

Physical contact can be made as follows: for example, the student (2), (2.1) of FIG. 2 touches with a hand or any object according to the received image (4.1.1) on the screen (4). Image (4.1.1) reacts to physical contact and makes a turn, turn, movement to the side, forward, up, right, left and other movements.

The revitalization device allows you to convert several silhouettes simultaneously into a three-dimensional body, and also allows you to convert several different silhouettes in turn and simultaneously display on the screen (4), which allows students (2), (2.1) of FIG. 2 simultaneously interact with them on the screen (4) and conduct collective work.

Thus, during the educational process, several students can be trained at the same time, with subsequent group interaction with the “lively”, voluminous animated results of individual work.

The invention allows children to be taught the ability to argue, defend their opinions, ask questions, and be proactive in acquiring new knowledge.

The device for implementing the "revitalization" of FIG. 3 includes interconnected personal computer (PC) (6) of FIG. 3 with developed software, a projector (3.2), at least one scanning device (3.1) consisting of a cabinet (3.1.1) and a tablet (3.1.3) with installed software, a Wi-Fi router (3.5), a touch sensor (laser lidar) (3.3), a set of silhouettes in electronic and / or material form for each topic or a set of elements for each topic, a stereo system, keyboard, mouse, power and communication cables.

PC software (6) of FIG. 3 includes software necessary for the operation of the elements of the device, as well as software that allows you to process information on certain topics, for example, animals, space, the ocean, roads, 3D dinosaurs, etc. depending on the goals and objectives of the educational process.

Wi-fi router is a device that helps to establish a common network (communication between certain types of equipment, in our case, between a PC and a tablet) and connect them to the Internet.

Each of the silhouettes of the set has labels for recognition.

The scanning device is a cabinet, (3.1.1) of FIG. 3 made on the basis of a vertically oriented parallelepiped, above the base there is a structure having two side and rear walls. The upper edge of the side walls is made inclined in front, due to which the panel (3.1.3) located on top of the walls has an inclination. The walls and panel form a niche for scanning (3.1.2).

A tablet (3.1.4) is built into the panel (3.1.3) with the ability to scan objects located in the scan niche (3.1.2).

The projector (3.2) is connected to the PC via communication cables.

The projector (3.2) and the touch sensor (laser lidar) (3.3) are suspended on mounts so that the projectors are at the height necessary for their quality work and so that they do not interfere with the user and exclude dangerous situations.

The touch sensor (laser lidar) (3.3) is installed in the upper central part of the projection area and covers the entire projection area and interacts with the PC through the network communication wires.

During the interaction of the student (2), (2.1) with the virtual world on the screen (4), the system for determining the position and touch of the touch sensor (3.3) of FIG. 1, 3, sends data about the place of contact with an accuracy of a centimeter and sends it to the PC (3.4). The PC program (3.4) processes the received signal and the projector (3.2) displays animated actions on the screen (4) of FIG. 2. at the point of operation of FIG. 2.

In the particular case of execution, the solution can be supplemented by the initial display on the screen (4) of FIG. 1-3 thematic backgrounds, for example, the seabed, landscape, city, images on the topic of training. The background can be animated, which additionally allows you to consolidate the studied material.

In the case when several scanning devices are used in the device (3.1), the animation takes place in parallel, the images do not clog each other, they are projected onto one screen (4) at the same time, each approximately in its own area on the screen, this allows training in groups with a lot of students.

In the case when several projectors are used in the device (3.2), the area and quality of projection increase, this allows training in groups with a large number of students.

As a result, the claimed method and the technical device for its implementation make it possible to carry out the process of developing creative abilities both individually and in a group, allow you to teach a child to see a modeling object in volume and environment, which develops spatial thinking, develops fine motor skills of the hand and stimulates brain areas responsible for thinking, speech, visual and motor memory, coordination. The skills of independent work and work in a group are developed, in a short time, participants acquire the skills of decorating, constructing and modeling due to the ability to see the result in a voluminous and visually impressive way.

The method allows you to better learn additional information material that accompanies the learning process. Also, the learning process is accompanied by physical activity.

The implementation of the invention

The claimed method of developing creative abilities is as follows. The head (teacher) selects the topic of training, tells the student (s) the topic, background information, and / or additional information on the topic of the lesson.

Next, he selects the type of templates, the method of decoration, depending on the age and level of knowledge of the student (s). For example, the younger and / or inexperienced the student (s), the simpler the template itself (silhouette (1), (1.1) of Fig. 1 on a piece of paper), and the more simple the decoration materials (pencil (5) of Fig. 1), respectively, the older and / or more experienced the student (s), the more complicated the silhouette templates (several sheets of the same silhouette of Figs. 4, 5), and the way they are decorated (application).

In all embodiments, the student is asked to choose from a set of silhouettes or elements on the topic of training the one he liked best. The student selects and proceeds to decorating or modeling. In the process of decoration or modeling, the head (teacher) provides additional information on the topic of training.

Consider the implementation of the method according to the first embodiment on the example of a specific topic. For instance:

Lesson topic: “winged insects”,

The purpose of the lesson: to give an idea of winged insects on the example of simple representatives.

Student Age (s): Preschool,

Skill Level: Low,

The student (s) are shown silhouettes (1) of representatives of winged insects located on the paper sheet of FIG. 1. It is easier for students to decorate on paper.

As decoration material, colored pencils (5) of FIG. 1.

The student (s) selects the silhouette that he likes (1), and decorates it by coloring with colored pencils (5), and / or works out it with small details.

In the process of decorating, the head (teacher) gives interesting and entertaining information on the topic “winged insects”, talks about the features of insects, the silhouettes of which are decorated.

Next, the decorated silhouette (s) through the revitalization device (3) of FIG. 1 is scanned and converted into a volumetric animated, responsive to physical contact, image (4.1.1) and displayed on the screen (4) of figures 1, 2. The student (s) are allowed to go to the screen (4) and interact with the “animated” the hero of his “decoration” (4.1.1) of FIG. 2, by pressing the palm of his hand and consider the features of its structure and movements.

In the case when several students participated in the learning process (2), (2.1), then all decorated images in turn through the “animation” device (3) are scanned and converted into volumetric animated images that respond to physical contact and are displayed on the screen together . 2.

In operation, the screen (4) of FIG. 2 students (2), (2.1) can interact not only with their image, but also observe and interact with the images of other students.

If students are older and / or more experienced and their decoration template consists of several sheets of FIG. 4, 5, after decoration, all templates-details related to one whole of FIG. 5 together through the “revitalization” device (3) of FIG. 1 are scanned and converted into a three-dimensional animated, responsive to physical contact, image and displayed on the screen in the form of an integral hero of FIG. 5.

At the end of the lesson, students take the product, which they themselves decorated with to keep in mind the emotions and consolidate the knowledge gained in the lesson.

Consider the implementation of the method according to the second embodiment on the example of a specific topic. For instance:

Lesson topic: “City of the Future”,

The purpose of the lesson: to give an idea of the architecture of buildings and elements of the city, of transport ",

Student Age (s): Preschool.

Skill Level: Intermediate,

The student (s) are offered designer elements with the connection of details such as a spike groove (lego).

The student (s) selects the favorite elements of the designer, and models the elements of the city of the future, for example, a car.

In the process of decorating, the head (teacher) tells interesting information on the topic “city of the future”.

Next, the simulated machine is scanned and converted into an animated, responsive to physical contact, image and displayed on the screen through the “revitalization” device. The student (s) are allowed to approach the screen and interact with the “revived” machine by pressing it, for example, with the palm of his hand, and set the trajectory of movement or stop, turn or turn.

In the case when several students participated in the learning process, then all the simulated products, in turn, are scanned and converted into animated three-dimensional animated images that respond to physical contact through the “animation” device and are displayed on the screen together. In the process of interaction, students can interact not only with their image, but also observe and interact with others.

For all embodiments of the method for creating a more atmospheric atmosphere in the lesson, a background suitable for the lesson’s theme can be projected onto the screen, including the background can be animated, as well as accompanied by sounds and musical accompaniment, which additionally allows you to consolidate the material studied.

At the end of the lesson, the student (s) takes the simulated product with him to maintain in his memory the emotions and consolidate the knowledge gained in the lesson.

The device for implementing the "revitalization" (3) of FIG. 1, 3 includes a personal computer (PC) interconnected with software, a projector (3.2), a scanning device (3.1) consisting of a cabinet (3.1.1) and a tablet (3.1.3) with installed software, wi-fi- router, projector, touch sensor (laser lidar), stereo system, keyboard, mouse, power and communication cables. PC software allows you to process information on certain topics, such as animals, space, the ocean, roads, 3D dinosaurs, etc. depending on the goals and objectives of the educational process, a set of silhouettes in electronic and / or material form for each topic or a set of elements for each. For each silhouette, a 3D model with a certain animation of elements has been developed, the model files are associated with PC software.

The device operates as follows: decorated silhouette (s) or a simulated model are located in the niche for scanning (3.1.2) of FIG. 3 of FIG. 1 (III) located in the scanning area of the tablet (3.1.4). The tablet (3.1.3) through the camera by means of preinstalled software scans the decorated image or model.

The tablet software determines what kind of character is painted and what colors, and displays the character’s image on the screen using the send button to the “virtual world”. The user activates the process of converting a 2D image (flat) into a 3D volumetric image at the touch of a button.

After pressing the button, the tablet sends the scanned image to the PC, where, using the installed software, the 2D image is identified with the developed 3D model and designates it as a clearly defined 3D model.

Next, a 3D model with decor through a projector (3.2) is projected onto the screen (4) of FIG. 2, 3. Projection is carried out at a place on the screen specified for this image, as well as the movement and animation of the image is carried out along the originally set motion path.

Interaction with the “animated drawings” on the screen (4) is carried out due to the configured touch sensor, namely by comparing the place of touch with the specified location of the 3D image on the projection, and also in accordance with cm in different parts of the projection.

In the case when several scanning devices are used in the device (3.1), the animation takes place in parallel, the images do not clog each other, they are projected onto one screen (4) at the same time, each in its own area on the screen. Accordingly, this is configured before the start of training.

In the case when several projectors are used in the device (3.2), the area and projection quality increase.

If the device is equipped with a stereo system, then through it, if necessary, the learning process is accompanied by thematic sounds and music.
