Research on Recognition of Movement of Star : Possibility of the Constellation Camera as Semi-Concrete Viewpoint Movement

Abstract

Up to now the astronomical observation during school hours was quite difficult. Thanks to development of the constellation camera i-CAN, etc. we can observe astronomical phenomena in real time on the screen of personal computer. In this study, we utilized the constellation camera to support semi-concrete viewpoint movement. As a result, it became clear that there was an effect which improved children's recognition of the movement of the stars.
