Teaching Geometry■Many students have difficulties with
spacial imagination and lack spatial abilities.
■Mixed reality can be useful in training spatial abilities in a 3D environment.
■Students can manipulate real and virtual objects in order to do geometry activities.
■Students can interact with the teacher and other students in real time.
■Mixed reality can offer a collaborative environment to solve problems

FlyStickFlyStick is a mixed reality tool for education that allows to control of a virtual object in 6 DoF from isometric and isotonic interactions.

Case study■Virtual Touch Flystick and Primbox have
been tested at a high school: Florida Secundaria situated in Catarroja (Valencia).
■This experience has involved 60 students of second and third year of secondary education.
■This experience they have included students with special educational needs, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity (ADHD), dyslexia and learning difficulties with some curricular adaptations.

Evaluation■In order to evaluate the experience we
have done:■An introductory questionnaire about
virtual worlds■A usability test about PrimBox and
FlyStick■A semi-structured interview with the
Math teacher■Exercicises and tests on the subject, to
check the learning effectiveness

Conclusions and future workStrong points
Meaningful learning
Active learning
Improve the motivation
Effective with pupils with special educational needsPromotes collaborative activitiesImprove spatial vision in a 3D dimensional environmentAppropiate for inclusive educacion (low fine motor skills…)
Weak pointsDistraction in some students
Need to have a good equipment (high band width, good graphic cards…)
Need to create and adapt all activitiesNeed to perform training for teachersDifficulty controlling the behaviour of avatars
