Mixed reality apps from Actimage help those with autism safely prepare for the real world.

 

When the 12-year-old girl walked, she routinely looked down at her feet, not ahead. It was not unusual for her, or for others who have autism. Eye contact with the world around them can be a challenge.

 

But using a HoloLens mixed-reality headset and an application called Pop Balloons, the girl felt more comfortable looking ahead. The app rewarded her with points when she found and popped balloons with her finger, and the faster she got at popping them, the more points she scored. Most importantly, as she used the app, she became more aware of her surroundings, improving her motor and relational skills.

 

Pop Balloons is one of five applications created by Actimage as part of its Hol’Autisme suite to help those with autism improve their motor skills and learn social skills. It’s not the only work Actimage does. The company’s broad portfolio includes mobile apps, cloud services, data intelligence, project coaching, machine learning, user experience design, motion design and DevOps.
