Summary :

Nowadays, many interface devices or training systems have been developed with recent developments in IT technology, but only a few training systems for developmentally disabled people have been introduced. In this paper, we present a real-time, interactional and situational training system based on augmented reality in order to improve cognitive capability and adaptive ability in the daily lives of developmentally disabled people. Our system is specifically based on serving food in restaurants. It allows disabled people wearing the HMD attached with camera to conduct the training to cope with a series of situations safely while serving customers food and drinks and take the training session as much as they want. After experimenting on our presented system for 3 months, we found that they actively participated in the training and their cognitive abilities increasingly went faster through repeated training, resulting in the improvement in their cognitive ability and their ability to deal with situations.
