Monitoring of emotion to create adaptive game for children with mild autistic

Abstract

Computer-based interactive systems and robots have become a massive technology for improving human-impaired social interaction, especially for children with autistic. Autism is a lifelong development disability, often accompanied by learning technologies. As a result, they have trouble interacting within our complex social environment and are, for the most part, unable to recognize other people's behaviors. In this paper, we present game-based therapeutic environments for people diagnosed with a mild form of autism. The proposed interactive system traces a child's emotion with intensity for changing a game environment for the purpose of triggering their emotions. The pedagogical agent provides therapy instruction with motivational support to children through adapting a child's emotional behaviors. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
