Designing a Mixed Reality Game Experience to foster Social Initiation in Children with Autism
summary
A research team builds a cooperative mixed‑reality game where one autistic child and one neurotypical child use handheld controllers to co-create solar systems on a 6×6 m floor projection; ceiling RGB sensors track colored LED rings and the game maps controls one‑to‑one so each player sees a personal stardust cloud. Gameplay uses white holes that emit particles, particle collisions form planets, and completing a system unlocks a new level. Early testing with neurotypical children yields heatmaps showing players move closer together over time; ASD trials stall due to COVID.
