“…Virtual reality in turn provides the possibility of eliminating this problem, allowing the creation of memories using immersive, navigable, visuospatial contexts. This can enhance validity while ensuring that researchers maintain experimental control over critical aspects of learning and experience [20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…BCI commodity devices have between one (MindSet) and over a dozen (Emotive) sensors/data points. The corresponding data model is relatively low dimensional, but can be used in intervention tools [20]. In addition, the high dimensional single user model (created from high quality fMRI data) can be used to improve accuracy [20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

The combination of virtual reality and fMRI is an innovative methodology that is used to make inferences about the neurological stimulations that take place in the brain of the person with ASD during the use of the VR tool. At the same time, the use of the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) will be important, as it can be used to achieve direct interaction between the person with ASD and the computer. Still, equally important conclusions can be arrived at through the EEG electroencephalogram, also establishing the neurological processes that are carried out during the use of the VR tool. The use of the two technologies mentioned above contributes to presenting in-depth conclusions and data about the emotional state experienced by children with ASD throughout the experimental process and their interaction with the virtual reality tool.

“…Despite the obvious difficulties, accomplishing these aims is nevertheless possible. A group of researchers used a type of software for developing children with ASD that included common scenes such as entering a classroom, choosing a seat, and participating in group work (El-Shehaly et al, 2013).…”

After clarifying the concept of inclusivity, the chapter lists the factors that need to be borne in mind by a society that treats people with disabilities as equal citizens. Possible means to achieve this goal are properly applied virtual reality methods. The chapter highlights some of the methods that can be applied to people with autism, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, and wheelchairs, and to help these people with disabilities live as independent life as possible for them. The tools of virtual reality can also play an important role in sensitizing and shaping attitudes in an inclusive society. The third part of the chapter focuses on these possibilities.

“…Figure 7.3 pictures a non-intrusive system used in the context of neurorehabilitation in stroke. Interesting results have been achieved, with promising applications, especially for individuals with muscular handicaps [53,64,85] but also for certain types of autism, with BCI sometimes coupled with VR [153].…”

Faculty of Sciences Department of Computing ScienceMaster in Computer Science Merging real and virtual worlds: An analysis of the state of the art and practical evaluation of Microsoft Hololensby Adrien COPPENS Achieving a symbiotic blending between reality and virtuality is a dream that has been lying in the minds of many people for a long time. Advances in various domains constantly bring us closer to making that dream come true. Augmented reality as well as virtual reality are in fact trending terms and are expected to further progress in the years to come. This master's thesis aims to explore these areas and starts by defining necessary terms such as augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR). Usual taxonomies to classify and compare the corresponding experiences are then discussed.In order to enable those applications, many technical challenges need to be tackled, such as accurate motion tracking with 6 degrees of freedom (positional and rotational), that is necessary for compelling experiences and to prevent user sickness. Additionally, augmented reality experiences typically rely on image processing to position the superimposed content. To do so, "paper" markers or features extracted from the environment are often employed. Both sets of techniques are explored and common solutions and algorithms are presented.After investigating those technical aspects, I carry out an objective comparison of the existing state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in those domains, and I discuss present and potential applications in these areas. As a practical validation, I present the results of an application that I have developed using Microsoft HoloLens, one of the more advanced affordable technologies for augmented reality that is available today. Based on the experience and lessons learned during this development, I discuss the limitations of current technologies and present some avenues of future research.
