Collaborative Puzzle Game (CPG), an interactive technology
supported game designed for fostering collaboration in children with ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorders) . The puzzle games task requires assembling pictures starting with pieces that are spread over the table surface. In the CPG, digital pieces can be dragged over the surface by direct ﬁnger touch and the game/actions is enriched with visual and auditory feedback. It features a set of interaction rules called Enforced Collaboration (EC): in order to be moved from their original position, puzzle pieces must be touched and dragged simultaneously by the two players. We hypothesized that EC can represent an interaction paradigm that would help foster collaboration between children. |
