This study explores an innovative approach for enhancing the mental development and education of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the use of mixed reality (MR) technologies. Integrating augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) creates a blended environment that offers unique opportunities for personalized learning experiences tailored to the needs of children with ASD. Our research examines the effectiveness of MR in improving cognitive, social, and emotional skills by providing immersive and interactive educational interventions. We conducted a series of case studies and controlled experiments involving children with varying levels of autism, utilizing MR applications designed to engage and stimulate learning processes. The findings indicate significant improvements in attention, communication, and adaptive behaviors, suggesting that MR technologies can be a powerful tool in the special education toolkit . Furthermore, this study highlights the potential of MR to bridge gaps in traditional educational methods, offering a supportive and engaging learning environment for children with autism.

摘要

This study explores an innovative approach for enhancing the mental development and education of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the use of mixed reality (MR) technologies. Integrating augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) creates a blended environment that offers unique opportunities for personalized learning experiences tailored to the needs of children with ASD. Our research examines the effectiveness of MR in improving cognitive, social, and emotional skills by providing immersive and interactive educational interventions. We conducted a series of case studies and controlled experiments involving children with varying levels of autism, utilizing MR applications designed to engage and stimulate learning processes. The findings indicate significant improvements in attention, communication, and adaptive behaviors, suggesting that MR technologies can be a powerful tool in the special education toolkit . Furthermore, this study highlights the potential of MR to bridge gaps in traditional educational methods, offering a supportive and engaging learning environment for children with autism. Future research directions and practical implications for educators and therapists are also discussed.
