This project aims to develop, evaluate, and launch an interactive educational platform utilizing the role of mixed reality (real-time teaching and virtual teaching) by enabling remote learning for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The idea of this project is a product of our continuous collaboration with Shafallah and Mada Center in which we have developed an augmented reality (AR) vocabulary learning application for children with ASD in English and Arabic.
The application enables the learning of letters and words in an interactive environment and the learning of letters and words in an interactive environment. Children will be able to have their teacher, and parents online simultaneously; however, in the absence of a teacher, a 3D humanoid talkative avatar would support a child and its parents in a virtual learning environment.
The platform will promote teachers to create tailored content and individualized plans online. It will also allow teachers, specialists, and parents to monitor the child's performance. The application can be used on tablet devices and will be deployed at the centers and special education schools.
