Abstract

CityCompass promotes collaborative conversational language learning by means of way-findings tasks situated in panoramic views of a city. Two remotely located participants have to navigate these 360 city panoramas as a tourist or a guide, to arrive at a preassigned destination. The application supports three modes of interaction and immersion: traditional mouse and keyboard interaction, embodied interaction using the Microsoft Kinect sensor and a virtual reality supporting 360 degree video panoramas on a mobile phone placed inside virtual reality googles (Samsung Gear VR).

CityCompass was demoed at the Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) 2016 conference and it won the best demo award. We believe that at IDC is extremely well suited for CityCompass as it was designed for and is used by children in schools.
