Towards movement-based interaction for tawaf training investigating its suitability for older adults
Nur Zuraifah Syazrah Othman1, Sarudin Kari2, Mohd Shafry Mohd Rahim3, Masitah Ghazali4.
Training of Tawaf (a rite in Hajj- the Muslim pilgrimage) has been limited to traditional
method of text-reading and talk-listening. An edutainment approach of virtual
environment simulation training could offer a more immersive experience through realistic
Tawaf settings. Constructing a more natural interaction style for the virtual training, besides
enhancing its realism value, could be the missing link in providing the engagement factor
that appeal to older users. This paper describe a preliminary study in finding out a first
indication on whether a natural interaction style through body movements could also be
suitable for older users. Encouraging results showed that there is little difference in gesture
performance of Istilam (a Tawaf gesture) between group of adult participants and group
of older (age above 60) participants, suggesting the applicability of movement-based
Tawaf training interaction to older adults as well.
