| Abstract | The mixed-reality environment, or hybrid physical-digital space, is an emerging human-computer interaction paradigm with great potential to support constructive learning in everyday settings as a complement to traditional classroom methods. Key advantages over screen-based media and immersive (virtual-reality) environments include a) dynamic, multimodal feedback, which engages diverse learning styles through multiple modes of representation; b) affordance of unencumbered, full-body movement, which enables interactions to be physically embodied; and c) physical continuity with the classroom, which fosters informal collaborative and social interactions. For this potential to be realized, however, we must address significant challenges in interaction design. We must develop modes of interaction which are implicitly learnable, which afford full-body movement, and which are cognitively well adapted to large physical spaces. Furthermore, we must create a mechanism by which students can reflect on what they have "constructed" through interacting with the space, so that implicit learning can be leveraged in the interest of explicit understanding. To these ends, we have developed a novel interaction paradigm based around 3D path shape qualities: straight, curved, random, and stop, which describe motion of an illuminated object (glowball) guided by the participant through the space. We infer these qualities in real-time (online) and also offline using a robust Bayesian framework operating on a low-cost, non-intrusive video sensing apparatus. Online inference drives the interaction and offline segmentation the post-interaction display, our mechanism for reflection where segmentation results are mapped onto a physical trace of the participant.s motion. An informal study a) validates the implicit learnability of straight, curved, and stop mappings based on shape quality controls, and b) highlights the comparative advantage of the postinteraction display for all mappings, when subjects are asked to identify the actions responsible for specific target outcomes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
