Why Open Touch Systems Are the Future of Immersive Learning
Breaking Down Barriers in Interactive Education
At 3walls, we’re passionate about making immersive education accessible and intuitive. Our innovative approach to touch technology demonstrates this commitment, offering educators and content creators the freedom to work with familiar tools while delivering engaging interactive experiences.
The Power of Simplicity: Our Mouse Protocol Approach
When designing our touch system, we made a strategic decision to implement a mouse-based touch protocol. This choice might seem straightforward, but it opens up a world of possibilities for our users. Our system seamlessly integrates with popular platforms like Genially and Wordwall, allowing educators to leverage existing content and create new interactive experiences without learning complex new systems.
Open vs. Closed Systems: A Clear Choice for great immersive education
Many immersive room providers use multi-touch protocols that require content creation within closed environments like Unity. While this approach offers certain technical capabilities, it comes with significant drawbacks:
- Limited content creation options
- Steep learning curves for educators
- Dependency on specialized development skills
- Restricted access to existing educational resources
Our open system takes a different path. By choosing compatibility over complexity, we enable:
- Immediate integration with familiar educational platforms
- Access to vast libraries of existing content
- Quick adoption by teachers and content creators
- Flexible content development options
Understanding the Trade-offs
Yes, our system primarily supports single-touch interactions. However, we’ve found this limitation to be minimal in practice. Most interactive elements in educational content—clicking, dragging, selecting—are single-touch actions that last just milliseconds. The benefits of our approach far outweigh this minor constraint:
- Educators can use their favorite content creation tools
- No specialized programming knowledge required
- Rapid content development and deployment
- Access to thousands of ready-to-use interactive resources
The 3walls Advantage
Our commitment to open systems reflects our broader philosophy: immersive education should enhance learning, not complicate it. By choosing 3walls, you’re not just getting a touch system—you’re gaining access to:
- Seamless integration with popular educational platforms
- Extensive content creation possibilities
- User-friendly interface
- Future-proof technology that grows with your needs
Looking Forward
As immersive education continues to evolve, the ability to quickly create and adapt content becomes increasingly crucial. Our open touch system positions educators at the forefront of this evolution, equipped with the tools they need to create engaging, interactive learning experiences.
