Preliminary Studies With Augmented Reality Tool To Help In Psycho-pedagogical Tasks With Children Belonging To Autism Spectrum Disorder
2017
The paper aims to show current efforts done towards the development of a tool for helping children affected with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We introduce the use of Augmented Reality-based tools, basically the Google Cardboard head-mounted display, in psycho-pedagogical tasks and tests performed with these children. We analysed the relationships about the possible increasing in executive functions when they have their facial processing cushioned by using the Google cardboard and looking into the real world just like a cartoon. This initial study provides evidences towards verifying that these children have a particular interest when real faces are covered with cartoon faces. The achieved results suggest that the proposed environment helps to increasing the performance of children in psycho-pedagogical tasks and that it can be a useful tool for helping professional educators in their tasks of giving a better support to these children in the development of their executive functions
