A Virtual Reality Application with Autistic Children
Dorothy C. Strickland · PRESENCE Virtual and Augmented Reality · 1996
Using the advantages of the sense of presence generated by virtual reality, a system to help children with autism was developed. Two case studies with children showed virtual reality has the potential to provide a safer, customized learning environment for individuals with autism. A model of reality that discusses historical and perceptual rules as well as input stimuli in forming a sense of presence is described.
