Supporting System Modeling Learning Using Gestures for Visualization Control as Method of Immersion

This work proposes a tool named VMAG -- Visualização de Modelos de sistemas Assistido por Gestos (Visualization of system Models Assisted by Gestures) - for supporting the visualization of system models by controlling it with gestures captured by a Kinect sensor. Inspired by the VisAr3D (Software Architecture Visualization in 3D) approach, this tool aims to support the teaching of System Modeling, using motion controls as an attraction to users to promote immersion. A prototype of this tool was developed, incorporating some of its functions, and a study was made to validate its viability, returning overall positive results.
