Description of Invention

Continual technological innovation, especially in educational technology for pre-school education, has led to a boom in new interaction characteristics in Child-Computer Interaction (CCI) research. The problem of limited screen sizes as a display and input device poses a design challenge that remains unanswered. Research with pre-school children requires careful attention to suitable methods, designs, and child-friendly models. The Child-Oriented TAM model has been adapted, and two new independent variables, namely screen size (SCS) and object size (OBS), were proposed for this study to gather feedback from children on their interaction satisfaction with multitouch screens.
