摘要: An Augmented Knight’s Castle (AKC) play set was adapted so that children with autism can configure programmable elements. This is compared a non-configurable AKC. When the system configurable, and when it switched on, less solitary more cooperative occur. Digital toys their configurability are key factors in design for autism, allowing greater individual control socially oriented behaviour. We suggest tangibles provide safety net encouraging social interaction as they allow broad range of styles.
