The Second Stage

I have decided to put forward the Virtual Classroom and 3D Educational Environment ideas. Both of these ideas are futuristic and involve making the educational process more interactive and enjoyable.

The Baby Language Interpretor was not put forward to the second stage due to a number of reasons:

• How would we know that the system was working? May result in the child getting more distressed if the wrong interpretation is provided by the system


• Is the child to young for this type of technology?


• Some argue that letting a child cry is good for them

The Automatic Tie-Up Shoes idea was not put forward to the second stage due to a number of reasons:

• Health and Safety issues


• What if the shoes are too tight?


• What if the child has difficulty taking the shoes off?




• The technology does not really make the lives of the children/parents/supervisors easier as the time taken to tie shoe-lasses is negligible

As a final point, I must stress that I am making significant assumptions about the ideas that I have put forward,

• Hologram technology would have developed to the extend where the
  children can touch and feel the holograms
• 
  
• The holagram can respond


• The children will understand that the holagram is not "real"
