“…It can be concluded that it is more important to teach people with ASD to express themselves, rather than use the language correctly. Studies by Blum-Dimaya et al (2010) and Zhu et al (2015) addressed the practical skills of adaptive behaviour, and their goals were to help people with ASD implement leisure activities in their daily living and improve the hand movement, respectively. The study by Caria et al (2018) presents a set of three SGs that aim to assist people with ASD in using money in their daily activities.…”

This study examines the available literature on the effects of serious games on people with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder. The studies were categorized based on the limitations in skills that these people address. Fifty‐four studies were selected, from different data sources. These studies address limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour. The results showed that the majority of studies on the effects of serious games for people with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder had a positive impact. Also, most studies for people with autism aim to improve social and communicational skills, whereas conceptual and cognitive skills were mainly observed in studies for people with intellectual disabilities. Although this study covers serious games in all platforms or delivery systems, the overwhelming majority of the presented studies include computer serious games. Computer‐assisted learning through serious games is considered quite promising for people with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder.

“…Eleven studies proposed one task, three studies proposed two tasks, three studies proposed three tasks, one study proposed four tasks, and one study proposed seven tasks. Overall, the proposed tasks can be categorized as follows: matching games whose aim is to correctly associate items [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]; daily routine games whose aim is to exercise in tasks such as activities of daily living, shopping, greeting, drawing, evacuating by fire, signs recognizing, eye gazing [ 23 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]; collaborative games whose aim is to cooperate to complete some tasks [ 15 , 16 ]; mathematical games whose aim is to correctly perform arithmetical operations [ 48 ]; labyrinth games whose aim is to correctly reach the end of the path [ 14 ].…”

“…Among studies involving two tasks: two studies used two matching games with picture stimuli [ 37 , 38 ]; one study used a daily routine game and a matching game with picture and word stimuli [ 39 ]. Among studies involving three tasks: one study used two daily routine games with picture stimuli and a matching game with picture and word stimuli [ 40 ]; two studies used collaborative games with picture stimuli [ 15 , 16 ].…”

“…Regarding studies with matching games, six studies used picture stimuli for children with ASD. Two studies reported a considerable improvement in fine motor skills and recognition in children with ASD [ 37 , 38 ], and one study observed that Leap-Motion-aided VR technology was more effective in teaching visual matching skills to students with ASD compared to teacher-implemented instructions [ 36 ].…”

Technological advancement is constantly evolving, and it is also developing in the mental health field. Various applications, often based on virtual reality, have been implemented to carry out psychological assessments and interventions, using innovative human–machine interaction systems. In this context, the LEAP Motion sensing technology has raised interest, since it allows for more natural interactions with digital contents, via an optical tracking of hand and finger movements. Recent research has considered LEAP Motion features in virtual-reality-based systems, to meet specific needs of different clinical populations, varying in age and type of disorder. The present paper carried out a systematic mini-review of the available literature using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The inclusion criteria were (i) publication date between 2013 and 2020, (ii) being an empirical study or project report, (iii) written in English or Italian languages, (iv) published in a scholarly peer-reviewed journal and/or conference proceedings, and (v) assessing LEAP Motion intervention for four specific psychological domains (i.e., autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment), objectively. Nineteen eligible empirical studies were included. Overall, results show that protocols for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder can promote psychomotor and psychosocial rehabilitation in contexts that stimulate learning. Moreover, virtual reality and LEAP Motion seem promising for the assessment and screening of functional abilities in dementia and mild cognitive impairment. As evidence is, however, still limited, deeper investigations are needed to assess the full potential of the LEAP Motion technology, possibly extending its applications. This is relevant, considering the role that virtual reality could have in overcoming barriers to access assessment, therapies, and smart monitoring.

“…Piker et al [ 133 ] explain the use of the LMC as a gesture-based interaction device for video games. In the same context, a LMC-based dialogue is also used to adapt games for enhancing the fine motor skills of children with autism [ 134 ]. In general, LMC-based solutions appear promising interfaces for children.…”

Modern hardware and software development has led to an evolution of user interfaces from command-line to natural user interfaces for virtual immersive environments. Gestures imitating real-world interaction tasks increasingly replace classical two-dimensional interfaces based on Windows/Icons/Menus/Pointers (WIMP) or touch metaphors. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to survey the state-of-the-art Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques with a focus on the special field of three-dimensional interaction. This includes an overview of currently available interaction devices, their applications of usage and underlying methods for gesture design and recognition. Focus is on interfaces based on the Leap Motion Controller (LMC) and corresponding methods of gesture design and recognition. Further, a review of evaluation methods for the proposed natural user interfaces is given.
