Desarrollo de Serious Games Para 1) Aprendizaje del Idioma Francés Y 2) Apoyo a Niños con discapacidad psicomotriz : desarrollo de juego serio con interfaz "body as interface" que permita mapear el movimiento de niños con discapacidad psicomotriz al movimiento del cursor.

Abstract

This thesis aims to develop the component related to the “Cursor” that will be integrated into the system called “GestPlay”, which aims to be an interactive tool that improves the motor skills of its users, facilitating their interaction with digital devices. For this purpose, the development of a "body as interface" interface that maps hand movements to the computer cursor is presented. Additionally, a serious game is included to help users learn to use the interface, along with an API that collects data captured from the serious game for subsequent use in measuring user progress. This work is primarily aimed at children with psychomotor disabilities and their therapists. However, it also considers other possible users, such as the children's tutors and people in general, not necessarily with disabilities, who wish to use the system as a tool or simply as entertainment. The development of this component was based on the simple interaction design life cycle model, using Kanban as a method to manage and organize the development of the highfidelity prototype. The resulting prototype was evaluated using heuristic and usability tests, which showed positive results, demonstrating the tool's potential to improve the quality of life of its users by facilitating their interaction with technology.
