The Interactive Carpet - Smart Textile Interface for Children on Autism Spectrum Disorder

Published:18 March 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the socializing potential of the smart textile based interface and presents the design and future study method of the Interactive Carpet prototype, designed in cooperation with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) specialists. The future exploratory study will shed a light on the potential effect on social skills of children with ASD and how its physical properties and multi-sensory feedback could promote interaction between caregiver and a child with ASD.
