“…To test the link between social behaviors elicited in a virtual environment and changes in internal state, as indicated through measurements collected through physiological sensing, we used the Lands of Fog system. 8 Lands of Fog is an MR full-body interactive environment created to foster social and collaborative behaviors in children with autism.…”

“…Large scale full-body interactive environments also allow for physical exploration and face-to-face interaction between users. 8 Bhattacharya et al 9 presented research using Microsoft Kinect in a classroom setting to promote engagement with peers and social behaviors in children with ASDs. In addition, collocated full-body interactive environments allow multiple users to interact in the context of a digital environment that adapts to their input, providing an adaptive context for the practicing of social skills face-to-face with others.…”

Despite a proliferation in digital intervention tools for autism, many studies lack comparison with standard intervention tools, and are not evaluated with objective and standardized measures. In this article, we present research on the potential of mixed reality (MR) experiences using full-body interaction to foster social initiation behaviors in children with autism while playing with a child without autism, in a face-to-face colocated configuration. The primary goal was to test whether practicing socialization in a virtual environment catered toward individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) could be a way to reduce anxiety while simultaneously forming collaborative behavioral patterns. Building on the results of a preliminary study, this second phase compares our system with a typical LEGO social intervention strategy using construction tools and toys as an aid to the psychologist, therapist, or caregiver. Results are based on four data sources: (a) video coding of the externally observed behaviors during the video-recorded play sessions, (b) log files of our system showing the events triggered and the real-time decisions taken, (c) physiologic data (heart rate variability and electrodermal activity) gathered through child-appropriate wearable, (d) and a standardized anxiety questionnaire. The results obtained show that the MR setting generated as many social initiations as the control condition, and no significant difference existed in the reported anxiety levels of the children after playing in the two conditions.

“…Studies in the field of human-computer interaction have focused on collaborative and interactive games [2], also for children with autism [3,6,9]. Joan Mora-Guiard et al designed an immersive game called Lands of Fog by using a projector to enhance the collaborative capacity of children with autism [6]. The PAR game, created by Greis F. Mireya Silva et al using multi-touch tabletop, consists of 3 phases and each phase need the participant to perform different collaborative tasks [9].…”

Eye contact disorder is one of the typical characteristics of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and this issue is directly related to the deficiencies in social interaction. In this poster, we present MaskMe, a collaborative game to help children with ASD make eye contact. Our game set several rules to encourage children with ASD to make eye contact with each other, we use the mask to cover children's face to reduce their stress when making eye contact, and we developed a device attached to the mask that can define if eye contact is occurring. We conducted a pilot user study using MaskMe with 18 children with autism, the result shows that our game was effective on encourage them to have more eye contact with each other.

“…And both substudies together form a study. In most substudies (n=79), autistics are mentioned as 'user with ASD' [50], yet there are substudies where the degree of autism was specified as well: 43 substudies with highfunctioning autistics (HFA) [44,15], 20 with medium/low functioning (M/LFA) autistics [19,11] and 5 with severe autistics [33]. Among autistic users, from all developmental stages, children (47%) and adolescents (30.3%) are the age ranges most often involved in UX studies (Fig.…”

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by various sensory perceptual and cognitive issues that lead to far-reaching challenges in autistics' social and daily lives. Research in HCI is inclined to take an important role in providing support to autistic individuals. However, due to the sensitivity of this user population and the HCI research community's lack of experience in working with neurodiverse users, researchers struggle while conducting and reporting on user studies with autistics. Aiming at analyzing autistics' involvement in design processes and the struggles encountered, here we present a critical review of user experience studies with autistic users conducted between 2010 and 2016. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches together, we revealed common practices and major problems. We provide a twofold contribution to the HCI field: A guideline for conducting studies with users with autism as well as suggestions on how to report these studies.
