Improving communication with a child with ASD has become an indispensable need in order to make the life smooth for the special child. Research has shown that communication gets driven by mood dynamics, non-verbal interactions, gestural communication and expressions. With the growth in technology, mixed reality and eye tracking are playing a major role in imparting experiences and making us learn about an environment without having to physically be in them. This research work explores how mixed reality can take a child with ASD through an experience that could help them open up and communicate well with others both with and without ASD. A series of training involved aims at an interaction and understanding gestures of others followed by initial training with child himself and animated creature through interaction. This overall experience integrates interactive play and human gestures in the way it happens in the real world. This will train and help enhance their willingness to share, interact and communicate with others besides training the motor skills. The resulting interactive environment addresses communication problem by introduction of a communicative and adaptive medium between a child with ASD and others. Keywords: Mixed Reality, Eye Tracking, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Asperger’s Syndrome(AS), Theory of Mind Skills. In 2013, Asperger’s Syndrome was reclassified under ASD and now called as ‘ASD’ as revised by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This paper includes references from paper and resources which were published before 2013. Thus, an older term ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ has been used at the places where it is referenced from resources older than year 2013. All the other research findings by me were drafted as per the new terminology called ASD.
