Sistema de comunicación móvil basado en la metodología aumentativa alternativa en realidad aumentada para niños con síndrome de down.

Abstract

A web and mobile system in augmented reality was carried out in order to support training and communication of children with Down syndrome. A previous study of children behavior with traditional learning system was performed which is based on the use of white and black printed pictograms. Specialist teachers in special education helped to collect information to develop the system by using some tools such as: text editor “Sublime Text”, in which HTML5 and CSS which in azure server. Blender, Unity 3D and Vuforia were used for the mobile application. A methodology SCRUM and the standard ISO/IEEC 9126 were adapted and it will give assessment parameters for prototypes. The implementation of the proposal produced positive changes in the interaction of children with Down syndrome because they caught their attention. A system comparison was made and survey was applied to parents who are responsible for kids. It was determined that the mobile system of Augmented Reality is over 18.75% to the web system, improving interactivity of children, these tools will support their communication and training. It is concluded that an application of Augmented Reality with 3D over exceeds expectations because children know pictograms deeply and they are the study objective in their learning process. It is recommended to carry out projects related to social aspects in order to help people with special capabilities.
