Augmented Reality Training Application for Cleaning Activities: Empowering People with Special Needs for the Il Seme Social Cooperative

Training individuals with special needs for cleaning activities presents unique challenges due to diverse learning styles and accessibility requirements. Augmented Reality (AR) technology offers a promising solution by providing interactive, immersive, and customizable training experiences. This paper presents the development and evaluation of an AR application tailored for training cleaning activities specifically designed to accommodate the needs of individuals with special needs. The application utilizes AR to provide personalized guidance, adapt training content to individual capabilities, and enhance engagement through interactive simulations. We discuss the design considerations, implementation details, and user feedback gathered through a pilot study involving individuals with various special needs. Results indicate that the AR application significantly improves the accessibility and effectiveness of training for cleaning activities, thereby empowering individuals with special needs to develop essential life skills and achieve greater independence.
