“…This kind of approaches is not merely confined to academic research: there are also commerciallyavailable and successful devices that foster intuitive control of music parameters through the detection of body movements. In this sense, it is worth mentioning Microsoft Kinect (Yoo et al, 2011;Kadakal et al, 2014;Graham-Knight and Tzanetakis, 2015), Nintendo's Wiimote (Kiefer et al, 2008;Reed et al, 2008;Wong et al, 2008), and Leap Motion (Silva et al, 2013;Perdana, 2014;Baratè et al, 2019).…”

This paper presents Kibo, a MIDI controller equipped with a simplified tangible user interface. Entirely made of wood, Kibo presents eight geometric extractable solids that can be used to trigger note events and to control musical parameters. In the framework of the cooperation with the Music Informatics Lab of the University of Milan, the distinctive features of the device and their applicability to the field of music education have been investigated. Kibo aims to offer intuitive interaction with music parameters and fosters the acquisition of specific skills in a non-formal learning environment. Benefits are particularly evident for specific target categories of users, including preschool and primary school children and people with both physical and cognitive special needs.

“…This technology allows for the integration of actual concepts with theoretical concepts and increases student engagement [14], [15]. The use of gesture-based technology in education have shown exceptional results in learning in various fields [16] - [19]. One of the most notable gesture-based devices for humancomputer interaction (HCI) is the Leap Motion controller.…”

Technology has proven effective in enhancing teaching methods. Gesture-based applications have a high potential for use in the development of teaching methods in schools. Simulation and 3D visualization, in particular, are some of the most important technologies that positively affected education. The implementation of these technologies in the education sector can determine students’ potential and enhance their interest in learning in scientific fields. This study explored the use of a chemistry education system that integrates virtual simulation and molecular visualization and uses a Leap Motion controller to teach chemistry in secondary schools. The sample comprised 113 students enrolled in four different classes in a public secondary school in Saudi Arabia. The data were analyzed using an ANOVA test to compare the results. The results indicate that the students who used the proposed educational system achieved better learning results than the students who participated in theoretical classroom learning only. Moreover, students who used the proposed educational system learned microscopic-level concepts better than those who used a real chemistry laboratory. Finally, combining simulation and molecular visualization and using gesture-based technology has a significant and positive effect on the students’ learning experience, as demonstrated by the results of this study which contributes to the development of education through the utilization of modern technology.
