Abstract

This project discusses about Dots Game Application using mobile technology for children with autism. Many children with autism frequently lost their concentration in study during their class. A child with autism has an average or above average level of intelligence, but has difficulty to concentrate during the lesson. So, this project is aim to attract their attention and gain more interest in their study especially in learning alphabets. This gesture based drawing or connecting the dots games was proposed which have two parts, user interface design and touch input gesture. The user interface design was created as interesting as possible to increase their attention. The touch input gesture detects the finger movement of the user and process the data to the applications. To develop this game, gesture recognition devices have to be used to connect all the dots available to be form of alphabets. After making several analyses on the findings, children with autism were enjoyed playing the game because with simple user interface design and simple audio instruction able to attract them to play while learning. Besides, it also can act as supporting tools that able to motivate them in classroom activity. The current work is part of the ongoing study for developing a new learning application design framework for the children with autism. This effort will help in improving the learning and hence living standard of special children.
