In Honor of World Autism Awareness Day and Autism Awareness Month we wanted to highlight a collection of neat uses of virtual reality for, about, or with people with Autism!
In our own research we’ve stumbled on a number of Virtual Reality simulations developed to replicate, or come close to replicating, the perspective of someone with Autism. The aim is to allow the user to experience the world through another person’s eyes, the idea being that VR is the closest we can come to seeing the lived experience of another.
