This study also describes optimization procedure for mobile device, sensor-based character control method, interaction methods, speech synthesis-based voice output, and communication with virtual characters using voice recognition as well. Finally, it predicts learning effects through implemented contents, and suggests limits of the implemented contents, and future directions of the English educational contents for the present young generation.
