Abstract

One of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) characteristics is their difficulty understanding other people’s emotions. Their lack of skill of understanding emotion includes expression and appropriate emotional response for a certain situation. This paper proposes an adapted book that helps therapists and parents guide ASD children to learn facial emotional expression. The adapted book combined with video, animation, and Augmented Reality increases children with ASD at recognizing emotional expression. This research uses User-Centered Design (UCD) approach to design the AR Adapted Book application and design the social story to be observable in school and family environment. Based on usability testing tried on the application, the result shows that AREmotion has an average score of 82.73 percent, and the learnability aspect has the highest score of 86.7 percent. This preliminary usability testing proves that the design of the AREmotion application is ready to use in real implementation for children with ASD. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.
