Summary:The use of information devices in educational settings has been increasing over the years. We propose a learning support system that is an expansion of the original Kinect system. The proposed expansion has been implemented using the Kinect motion capture system to recognize "air characters" written by the body actions of learners and is used in this study for practicing Japanese letters expressed in Romaji by a combination of alphabets. We believe that students can have fun with learning by performing body actions, thus keeping their motivation to learn high. We had some elementary school students operate the system and then evaluated the results.
