摘要

Purpose

This paper aims to comprehensively review the application of Augmented Reality interventions in supporting individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The main research question guiding this review is: What effects do AR interventions have on various aspects of functioning in individuals with ASD?

Methods

A systematic review methodology was employed to analyze 49 articles published between 2013 and 2023. These articles were selected based on their relevance to AR interventions for individuals with ASD. The review examines the diverse technological landscape of AR interventions, the various platforms utilized, and the effectiveness of different AR techniques.

Results

Findings reveal the prevalence of smartphones, tablets, smart glasses, and head-mounted displays as primary platforms for AR interventions, with positive outcomes reported across various domains including social interaction skills, communication abilities, and academic performance. Marker-based, superimposition-based, and projection-based AR techniques demonstrate potential in creating personalized and engaging experiences tailored to the unique needs of individuals with ASD.

Conclusion

Despite progress in communication and social skills interventions, gaps remain in understanding and addressing attention-related issues and emotion recognition. The review underscores the need for more rigorous study designs and objective evaluation methods to ascertain the efficacy of AR interventions for individuals with ASD. Looking ahead, collaborative efforts between researchers, developers, practitioners, and individuals with ASD are crucial for advancing innovation, addressing limitations, and ensuring the meaningful integration of AR technology into interventions aimed at enhancing the quality of life for individuals on the autism spectrum. Further exploration and utilization of the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and affective computing are warranted to develop solutions that effectively address real-world challenges faced by individuals with autism.
