Sensor technology and eye trackingSmart textbook to encourage pupils
Researchers at TU Kaiserslautern and DFKI are working on an intelligent textbook for tablets and computers in the 'HyperMind' project. With the help of integrated sensors, it should help to identify pupils' strengths and weaknesses at an early stage.
... to see where a pupil's particular interests lie: "For example, if they look at a particular word more often in a row, the system could provide them with further information about it, for example via their internet browser," adds Kuhn. By identifying academic strengths and weaknesses in this way, the intelligent textbook is intended to help provide pupils with individual support. At Cebit 2017, the researchers will be presenting the 'HyperMind' project to the general public at the Rhineland-Palatinate research stand (Hall 6, Stand C17). They are already working together with a textbook publisher.
