Paper Finding: Our experimental results provide evidence that observing physical phenomena in the context of an interactive mixedreality game plays an important role for learning and enjoyment, while adding simple physical controls such as having the kids shake the tablet in a screen-only game or press the physical switch in a mixed-reality game does not have an effect on learning or enjoyment.

Paper Context: This suggests that having a character in the game made it more engaging and memorable for children. Our experimental results provide evidence that observing physical phenomena in the context of an interactive mixedreality game plays an important role for learning and enjoyment, while adding simple physical controls such as having the kids shake the tablet in a screen-only game or press the physical switch in a mixed-reality game does not have an effect on learning or enjoyment. The results revealed that even for this subset there was still a significant effect of mixed reality (over virtual) on learning (p<0.01).
