Abstract

The COSPATIAL (Communication and social participation: collaborative technologies for interaction and learning) project explores how we can develop effective and useful educational technologies in the form of shared active surfaces (SASs) and collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) to support the enhancement of social competence skills for children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). This paper presents a description of the COSPATIAL suite of applications, comprising of two CVE programs and two SAS programs.
