ATHYNOS: Helping Children with Dyspraxia Through an Augmented Reality Serious Game

The Virtual Challenge: Virtual Reality Tools for Intervention in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder

“…AR potentialities have also been investigated in the already mentioned study by Avila Pesantez [ 40 ], who compared two therapy methods (manual puzzle and AR) in 40 children (50% male and 50% female of average age 7.3 years). At each session the time of activities execution and the quality of performance for each student were registered.…”

“…Results emerging from the presented studies, despite limitations, reveal a good potential in DCD treatment. Three out of the four studies presented in this review reported significant results in the outcome measures [ 38 , 40 , 64 ].…”

“…Other studies explored the advantages of a specific design for tools in rehabilitation such as the AR Serious Game “Athynos” [ 40 ], an AR tool specifically developed to target cognitive/motor functions in Dispraxia.…”

“…AR has been found effective in empowering coordination skills in children. A study by Avila Pesantez [ 40 ] investigated the effects of an AR Training using a specifically designed tool called Athynos. Athynos was a prototype designed according to practice standards proposed by experts in the field of Dispraxia.…”

Conceptual Model for Serious Games Design: Case Study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
