Abstract

Gesture based interaction has been used for several years now. Different proposals have been given for prior use with this type of process. Benefits were approached, specially focused on training, for improving the quality of education. Because of this, this article is based on this process used for educational purposes, with the case of spelling. For its development, an inductive study of the participants was carried out with the application. The results confirm the validity of the idea and the development of the proposal. In addition, participants stated their opinions about the application through contactless interaction. As a result, the use of this type of applications could encourage an increase in student interest in learning.
