(Augmented Reality for Autism) Goal: ARA aims to help train the ability of generate abstract concepts with a low cost, non-invasive technology (cell phone and/or tablet). We understand abstract thinking as the ability to group things under the same categories. For example: Thinks= {green apple, red apple}, Abstract category= Apples. This training in the long term will be helpful to increase the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) persons communication skills. Goal: This application is for people diagnosed with ASD (any severity). Benefits for the society: The project will benefit to the society in order to give independence to ASD people, integration and a better lifestyle for them and their families. The integration will allow also to recover these patients to be reinserted in the economy and society. Current Status: We arranged with all the members of the team a friendly way for implement the application using the Augmented Reality merged with mobile technology (phones and tablets) to accomplish our project goal, we are in the process of deploying a first beta prototype.
