Brainstorm Session

Baby Language Interpreter

Enables the parents/supervisor to understand what the child is trying to say by processing the “baby language” into English (or alternative) via audio input devices.

• Understanding a child’s needs and wants is a difficult task
  
  
• The child will use words that the parents will not understand
  
  
• Software translates the baby language into English (or alternative)
  
  
• Improves the lives of both the child and parents/supervisors

3D Educational Environment

A 3-dimensional environment that aids in the educational process by displaying interactive holograms.

• Initial research has shown that children find much of the educational activities “boring” [BBC Link]
  
  
• This technology takes education to a new level by making the educational environment digital
  
  
• The holograms will give the child the illusion that they are out in the “real world”, hence making the learning environment more interactive and enjoyable
  
  
• If the children are learning about cats, them the system will display cat holograms that the children can “stroke”
  
  
• Once the child has made contact with the hologram they are educated either by the hologram or by a hologram teacher

Virtual Classroom

This technology provides a method that enables all children to be at school from the comfort of their own home via a virtual classroom.

• A child may be ill and unable to travel to school etc… there are many reasons why a child may not want/able to attend school
  
  
• The child places some type of device on their head and they are entered into the virtual classroom
  
  
• This idea is based on the 3D educational environment idea, in the sense that the learning environment is digital and the child can interact (walk, talk etc..) with other children.
  
  
• The child is not restricted to their local area, the child can interact with other children from all over the world, further stimulating the child.

• Saves time
