SUMMARY:MotionTales: Enhancing Creative Physical Expression in Elementary 
 Education
DESCRIPTION:Satomi Tokida and Yuta Itoh (University of Tokyo), Masanori Ka
 yano (University of Yamanashi), and Yoshio Ishiguro (University of Tokyo)\
 n\nThe expressive movement activities in Japanese elementary education aim
  to help students express their emotions and thoughts through physical mov
 ement. Traditionally, teachers select themes for expressive movement from 
 daily life and guide students, but it is challenging to employ a standardi
 zed approach to fostering children's creativity. Consequently, instruction
 al methods often rely on the teacher's subjective judgment. This reliance 
 hinders the development of children's creativity and emotional expression 
 while imposing a significant burden on teachers. We propose StoryDanceMR, 
 an educational tool integrating expressive movement activities with storyt
 elling. This system uses a normal RGB camera and a projector to capture st
 udents' gestures and visualize them on a screen using particle effects, an
 d promotes creative improvisational expression. By employing interactive v
 isualizations of diverse story-based movements, we aim to enhance a variet
 y of physical movements to express emotions and thoughts. A user study in 
 a Japanese elementary school has demonstrated that StoryDanceMR increases 
 student engagement in lessons and improves creative expression skills from
  both physical and linguistic perspectives. Additionally, it provides teac
 hers with a consistent instructional framework, potentially enhancing educ
 ational quality. It integrates physical and intellectual activities, offer
 ing a new approach to storytelling and dance education in elementary schoo
 ls.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced Access, Full Access, Full Access Su
