The problem AutisticVR solves

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. Autism affects every 1 in every 40 children in the world. Autism can't be cured but if identified early, effective measures can be taken to reduce the adverse effects of it. This is often difficult to analyze since they lack communication skills. We, therefore, create a calm environment to trigger joint attention that is helping them share their interests and regulate them and their behavior while the parent can access information to understand his/her child better. Our application has virtual reality scenarios of real-life situations so as to help children and adults overcome their fear of that situation when it comes to real life. We aim to help these children by training their brains and letting them control their world and feel less anxious and more confident and also help their parents understand and monitor them.

So we propose AutisticVR. An AI-VR based application to help people with autism improve communication, social and other basic abilities required to live in a society. What it does is, it gives a set of YES/NO questions that are to be answered by either the parent of the child or the adult suffering from Autism and then it matches those answers with the dataset which then returns the level of autism that the child/adult is suffering from. Depending on the level the candidate can choose the level of the extremity of VR therapy. Now when the child is going through the VR session even the parent can view what their child/ adult is doing inside the virtual environment using the parent app from anywhere and advise their ward providing extra support to the autistic candidate.
We are building on Proven theories of VR bringing a change in real-life behavior:

Challenges we ran into

Working on AI for the first time so took time to figure how to use datasets.
