Abstract

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) have marked difficulties using verbal and non-verbal communication for social interaction. The ASC-Inclusion project helps children with ASC by allowing them to learn how emotions can be expressed and recognised via playing games in a virtual world. The platform assists children with ASC to understand and express emotions through facial expressions, tone-of-voice and body gestures. In fact, the platform combines several stateof-the art technologies in one comprehensive virtual world, including analysis of users’ gestures, facial, and vocal expressions using standard microphone and web-cam, training through games, text communication with peers and smart agents, animation, video and audio clips. We present the recent findings and evaluations of such a serious game platform and provide results for the different modalities.
