The user-centred intelligent environments development process as a guide to co-create smart technology for people with special needs

“…1 Overview of the usercentric IE development process drivers, and other people interacting with them are also able to use the static and mobile devices with different interfaces and benefits. Some recent services built as part of POSEIDON have been reported by [9,17].…”

Research review on augmented reality as an educational resource for people with intellectual disabilities

“…In the first place, one of the most outstanding aspects is the application of the AR to the orientation of people with ID, which was addressed by three of the studies reviewed. These studies applied to (a) orientation in real environments to locate specific milestones and encourage autonomous movement through the city (McMahon, 2014), (b) ask for help and show the location in case of danger or disorientation (Tenemaza et al, 2016), and (c) training for orientation and recognition of landmarks in the environment (Covaci et al, 2015).…”

“…Other studies used the stationary AR for the initial training of the participants in certain tasks, such as orientation in the environment through virtual navigation. However, this type of interventions used portable AR in a second moment, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of both training and the use of portable devices with AR for orientation in real contexts (Covaci et al, 2015). However, most studies analyzed (n = 5; 55%) used AR using portable devices (Heyn et al, 2014;McMahon, 2014;McMahon et al, 2013;Tenemaza et al, 2016;Vullamparthi et al, 2013).…”

“…First, most studies focus on the field of education proposing interventions for vocational skills training (Chang et al, 2013), design of activities based on gamification (Colpani & Petrucelli, 2016), acquisition of vocabulary (McMahon, 2014), improving reading competence (Ramli & Zaman, 2011;Vullamparthi et al, 2013), routine following, completing tasks or generalization of concepts (Vullamparthi et al, 2013). Secondly, research aimed at favoring the personal autonomy of individuals with ID by means of AR that facilitates orientation in real environments for the location of places (Covaci et al, 2015;McMahon, 2014), communication of our location at a specific time, or request for help in case necessary (Tenemaza et al, 2016). Third, a line of work oriented towards the health of people with ID is identified.…”

Co-creation of Smart Technology with (and for) People with Special Needs

“…Although the main users are people with DS but their family, school teachers, employers, bus drivers, and other people interacting with them are also able to use the static and mobile devices with different interfaces and benefits. Some recent services built as part of POSEIDON have been reported by Kramer et al, (2015) and Covaci et al, (2015).…”
