Intelligent Context-Aware Augmented Reality to Teach Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

There is a compelling need to develop tools and strategies for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in order to facilitate independence, self sufficiency, and address poor employment outcomes in adulthood. Through use of augmented reality (AR) and machine learning methods, we create an intelligent, contextually aware instructional system for persons with I/DD. We present results that demonstrate our system can be used independently by students with I/DD to quickly and easily acquire the skills required for performance of three relevant vocational tasks.
