By using more cameras and different software (apart from reactivision) the application would be able to view the hardware devices on screen and would also allow the user to rotate the devices on screen allowing the user to view the devices in different angles.
This would not require the user to physically rotate the device in order to view different angles; all the user has to do is to select a different camera which would give a different view of what is on the table.
As a future recommendation we can easily manipulate the current game, to facilitate different requirements but with the basic logic remaining untouched.
a specific game enhancement can be that instead of finding descriptions to hardware components, one is given a mother board and with the use of fiducial symbols one will be able to learn both about the hardware components and about how to correctly assemble different hardware components on a generic mother board.
Another future recommendation which goes outside the assignment scope but will greatly enhance the game itself, this recommendation is to change from a fiducial and camera system to a Radio Frequencies Identification (RFID) and receiver setup.
The reason behind this recommended change is it to give the game player greater flexibility, by removing the fiducials and camera and replacing with the RFID tags and receiver the problems with miss matching fiducial, light quality, camera height, covered fiducial's and in general the camera not being able to read the fiducial, will all be resolved.
Other advantages such as additional distance coverage and higher quality reading will greatly improve the game quality and game experience
A future recommendation which is more of a game design change than a physical design change is to change the concept of the game. As the game needs to be of an educational manor a change in game logic will add a whole new dimension and users to this platform. The proposed game logic change is to have a simple maths game which will interactively teach young users simple arithmetic. The game concept is as follows: Users will have a sequence of numbers 1 – 9 also associated with a fiducial will be “+” Plus, “-“ minus , “x” multiplication,”/” division, finally users will have an “=” equals fiducial and a “?” fiducial.
Students will be able to play the game by placing a numbers and different forms of equating these numbers together, at any time the user can display the ? Fiducial which will explain each symbol on the current playing surface. When a combination is placed correctly then the user will be shown a sort video of different combinations that could have been used, this will further aid in the teaching process. As this is only a future recommendation for a different version of the game additional details will be tackled at a later stage but the game concept has now been drawn up.
