Tinyhands: An Interactive Game Suit for the Rehabilitation of Autistic Children

Abstract

Games are one of the biggest sources of entertainment especially for children. Even though most of the games focus on entertainment however, they also can be used to improve lot of skills of players and a lot of games are being used for learning purposes. Our project “Tinyhands” is based on this idea to develop a game for autistic children to enhance their cognitive skills and improve social interaction. In this game, there will be two modes. First mode, will be the single player in which autistic child can play different activities and levels. Second will be a multiplayer mode, the game will be played between a normal and autistic child. In this normal child will be dependent on the autistic child to support him throughout the game on the basis of devised reward system and power system. If the game will be played by autistic child in companionship with normal sibling it will eliminate the relationship gap between siblings while strengthening their bond. On other hand, in this game we will collect different data of Autistic child’s gameplay and will provide in-depth analytics.
