Abstract
The application proposed in this paper provides an environment for physical interaction with three-dimensional models in the digital world. The main focus of the project is to introduce education to learners using modern technologies like computers and video games. An educational game is introduced, wherein the basic idea of electric charge and force has been developed. The interaction is made more physical by using a low-cost interactive device called Wii-remote which is basically a remote for a gaming console. The application effectively makes use of the motion-sensing capability of Wii-remote, thus exploiting it as an educational tool.
