Recent studies have found that imbalanced motor skills (hand-eye coordination) among autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or autistic children cause lower efficiency in daily routines. Autistic children need long-term rehabilitation programs to improve their abilities. However, problems with a lack of motivation to participate in conventional therapy and the high cost of therapy sessions arise over time. Autism children are necessary to do repetitive activities every time through therapy sessions. Repetitive activities cause children having less interest to participate in ongoing therapy sessions. Besides, the therapy process usually requires a long time to be implemented that cause the relatively high cost had to be paid by the patient's family. The use of technology is seen as more effective and less annoying for a child with autism. However, the use of games technology requires the gamer to hold a game controller. Proposals for motion-based toothless games using NUI technology, such as the Kinect Xbox 360, to be used in rehabilitation are exciting for patients, but the design elements do not meet the requirements of autistic people. Hence, this research proposes a Kinect game based on design elements for autistic rehabilitation. The objective of this research is to identify a symptom of eye-hand coordination problem and develop a severe game using Kinect technology as the solution to the problem faced by autism children. This technology provides a low-budget solution costs of therapy and games base on the 3D sensor without the use of control equipment which must behold or touch by hand. Moreover, Kinect does not need a controller or additional body-worn attachment during play time. A game prototype was developed and measured, and evaluation resulted in positive feedback from the user and therapists, thus meeting the objective of this study.

“…Emotional Advisor is capable of teaching and guiding autistic people on how to respond appropriately based on how the other person is feeling or expressing emotions during verbal communication [38]. In [41], the educational system called Face3D has been proposed for autistic children to help them in understanding and reasoning about other people's (for example, relatives') mental and emotional states by use of virtual agents representing real people, their performance, emotions, and behavior.…”

Affective computing is a growing field of artificial intelligence. It focuses on models and strategies for detecting, obtaining, and expressing various affective states, including emotions, moods, and personality related attributes. The techniques and models developed in affective computing are applicable to various affective contexts, including Ambient Assisted Living. One of the hypotheses for the origin of emotion is that the primary purpose was to regulate social interactions. Since one of the crucial characteristics of Ambient Assisted Living systems is supporting social contact, it is unthinkable to build such systems without considering emotions. Moreover, the emotional capacity needed for Ambient Assisted Living systems exceeds simple user emotion detection and showing emotion expressions of the system. In addition, emotion generation and emotion mapping on rational thinking and behavior of a system should be considered. The chapter discusses the need and requirements for these processes in the context of various application domains of Ambient Assisted Living, i.e., healthcare, mobility, education, and social interaction.

This paper addresses UI (User Interface) designing based on multi-touch collaborative gesture recognition meant for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)-affected children. The present user interfaces (in the context of behavioral interventions for Autism Spectrum disorder) are investigated in detail. Thorough comparison has been made among various groups of these UIs. Advantages and limitations of these interfaces are discussed and future directions for the design of such interfaces are suggested.
