自闭症儿童在治疗过程中很难维持他们的选择性注意力。注意力管理技术包括使用语言和视觉提示，并在治疗过程中使用的物理对象上进行注释。在这里，作者们探索了增强现实如何帮助整合物理世界和数字世界，模仿目前自闭症患者的注意力管理策略。他们描述了在开发移动对象识别系统(MOBIS)时的设计决定，这是一种移动增强现实应用程序，允许教师在物理对象上叠加数字内容。为期五周的部署研究结果表明，Mobis有用且易于使用，提高了自闭症儿童的持续和选择性注意力，并在治疗过程中引发积极情绪。这篇文章是关于管理注意力的特刊的一部分。
Children with autism have difficulty sustaining their selective attention during therapy sessions. Attention management techniques involve the use of verbal and visual prompting, annotated on top of the physical objects used during therapies. Here, the authors explore how augmented reality helps integrate the physical and digital worlds, mimicking current strategies for attention management in autism. They describe their design decisions when developing the Mobile Object Identification System (Mobis), a mobile augmented reality application that lets teachers superimpose digital content on top of physical objects. The results of a five-week deployment study demonstrate that Mobis is useful and easy to use, increases the sustained and selective attention of children with autism, and elicits positive emotions during therapies. This article is part of a special issue on managing attention.
