The educational environment does not seem to follow this trend, though as the technology used in classrooms is still very restricted, either for lack of resources or resistance on the part of educators. With the use of computational tools, the lessons become more attractive, efficient and participatory. However, they must be easy to use and meet the needs and expectations of its users so that picture can be changed. This study proposed an approach based on Natural User Interfaces tool that uses the Microsoft Kinect device to improve the user experience of digital presentations in the classroom. Finally, we performed some usability tests that confirmed that natural gestures provide better results and more efficiency.

The competitions results are often inaccessible in the long run, as paddle federations and confederations do not provide the scores already made by participants, which makes it difficult or even impossible for them to be able to make an analysis of their campaigns in competitions. This study proposed a mobile tool to centralize these results, in a practical and illustrated way, providing some statistical analysis of players activities. Finally, a tool quality analysis was carried out by the users, which proved the benefits brought to the sporting careers of the paddle players who use the application.
