DentAR
DentAR is an Augmented Reality (AR) environment designed to mitigate SPD-related anxiety in dental settings for individuals with ASD. Developed via a participatory design approach with occupational therapists, dentists, and caregivers, DentAR utilized the sensory integration strategy to modify the sensory characteristics of the dental clinic, by employing visual and auditory stimuli to enhance the dental experience for those with SPD.
