With the advance of a variety of digital devices, digital games with different interactive devices have been widely used in educational settings. Different from other digital games, “Interactive pet-dragon” designed in this study emphasizes the process of learning participation based on the characteristic of pet-nurturing games. More specifically, in this study, three interaction techniques (including Arduino photosensitive induction, QR Code for card identification, and the gesture motion detection ) are integrated as an interactive Pet-Dragon with nurturing, training, and challenging functions to support human-computer interaction., enhancing learners’ interest in learning and participation.
