Update Research of Virtual Reality Technology on Children with Autism

Abstract

Autism, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by communication, communication disorder, narrow interest and stereotyped behavior. Existing studies have shown that VR (Virtual Reality) technology may have some unique advantages in interfering with children with autism. VR technology refers to the construction of an artificial, realistic, and multi-sensory virtual world through computers and other devices. In the aspect of auxiliary diagnosis, VR technology provides a unified observation standard through the manual foot movement and eye movement data of children in the virtual environment. At the same time, it can reflect the clinical characteristics of children according to the performance and response of children to complete tasks in virtual environment, and VR technology will be presented to children in the same environment as usual, which can better reflect the performance of children and adolescents in the real-life environment. In this paper, the application of VR technology in auxiliary diagnosis and rehabilitation training of children with autism is briefly reviewed to provide new ideas for clinical rehabilitation treatment of children with autism.
