ABSTRACT
This study recognizes the movement of hands moving in real time through a camera connected to a computer to be used for children's educational activities. The Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea has developed a curriculum for children aged three to five through the 2019 revised Nuri curriculum so that they can be applied in the field from 2020. The curriculum was presented in five areas (body exercise, health, communication, social relations, art experience, and nature exploration). Among them, physical exercise, health, and nature exploration are areas where education must be conducted through external activities. However, the reality is that active external activities are difficult. Even now, in January 2022, the world is suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Korean children's education site is also experiencing many difficulties. Therefore, this study attempts to help children learn how to explore nature indoors by using MediaPipe to recognize children's hand movements and using virtual mice that operate through them. © 2022, Success Culture Press.
