Short Description

​This case study seeks to explore the design and development process of creating mobile-based virtual reality systems for individuals with autism. By providing a narrative into our design process, we posit that our approach can be used by practitioners interested in supporting the lives, education and well-being of people with autism - especially in the context of crises such as COVID-19 that requires expedited development of training materials. Findings from this case study will be discussed as well as areas for future application.
