Using Marker Based Augmented Reality to teach autistic eating skills

Abstract

Autistic children suffer from distraction and difficulty in learning. The research is still ongoing continues to find suitable ways to help autistic children learn and live normally. Recently, the use of digital technologies in supporting children with Autism has increased dramatically. We focus on problems that autistic children face in the learning process. We propose a new learning system based on Augmented Reality overlie digital objects on top of physical cards and rendering them as a 3D object on mobile devices to help in teaching eating food skills using related phrases and sounds. We aim to improve the learning abilities to repeat the correct behavior.
