Autism simulator employing augmented reality: A prototype

In order to help people suffering from autism spectrum disorder (ASD), assistance systems have been developed with a focus on enabling ASD people to adapt to activities of daily living (e.g., augmentative and alternative communication systems [1]). However, if we reverse our viewpoint, we can develop a new concept for the assistance system: letting normal developed (ND) people experience the perceptual world of ASD people and thus understand their difficulties with recognizing the world. An open challenge is reproducing the perceptual experiences of ASD people to quantitatively assess their problems.
