| description | This project set out to design an interactive video game to teach children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) a life skill. The project worked closely with a special school to get feedback from the children and staff.
Teaching autistic children to take a shower can be a struggle as they have difficulty understanding the concept of hygiene. This project used the Microsoft Kinect to provide children with an engaging experience while teaching them the steps to take a shower.
The experiment was conducted with 6 boys around the age of 8, and was very successful, eliciting excitement and interactivity from the students. In conclusion, virtual reality is a useful platform to teach life skills to individuals with ASD. |
