AI-Empowered Analytics on Gesture (Developed by: A/P Chen Wenli and Miss Lyu Qianru)
This research explores how students apply bodily engagement for computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). We have utilized MediaPipe, a machine learning model, to analyze video files and extract moment-by-moment body landmarks. This approach allows us to understand and visualize how students use hand movements and body gestures during collaborative learning activities.

AI-Empowered Analytics on Joint Attention (Developed by: A/P Chen Wenli and Miss Lyu Qianru)
In another research, we employed AI-Empowered Analytics on Joint Attention analysis. This research examines how students apply joint attention, specifically synchronized gazing detection, for collaborative learning. By using machine learning models such as YOLOv7 for gazing detection and object detection, we analyze video files to capture moment-by-moment gazing and object detection. This method provides a precision level of 60% to 89%.
