Abstract/Description
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are one of the complex, pervasive, and multifactorial neurodevelopmental conditions which affect one in 68 children. Scientific research has proven the efficiency of using technologies to improve communication and social skills of autistic children. The use of technological devices, such as mobile applications and multimedia, increase the interest of autistic children to learn while playing games. This thesis presents the re-engineering, extension, and...
Show moreAutism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are one of the complex, pervasive, and multifactorial neurodevelopmental conditions which affect one in 68 children. Scientific research has proven the efficiency of using technologies to improve communication and social skills of autistic children. The use of technological devices, such as mobile applications and multimedia, increase the interest of autistic children to learn while playing games. This thesis presents the re-engineering, extension, and evolution of an existing prototype Windows-based mobile application called Ying to become an Android mobile application which is augmented with facial and emotion recognition. This mobile app complements different approaches of traditional therapy, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Ying integrates different computer-assisted technologies, including speech recognition, audio and visual interaction, and mobile applications to enhance autistic children’s social behavior and verbal communication skills. An evaluation of the efficacy of using Ying has been conducted and its results are presented in the thesis.

Abstract/Description
Wassily Kandinsky wrote Über das Geistige in der Kunst, in 1912, and was translated from German into English by Michael Sadler. Naming it at first, “The Art of Spiritual Harmony” in 1914 it is known as, Concerning the Spiritual in Art. He wrote color and music theories based on angles, synesthetic experiences, subjective instincts, chromotherapy, and shapes. Kandinsky’s theories are worth continuing to research and bring forth into the new generation of technology where we can see music as...

He wrote color and music theories based on angles, synesthetic experiences, subjective instincts, chromotherapy, and shapes. Kandinsky’s theories are worth continuing to research and bring forth into the new generation of technology where we can see music as numerical expressions. The goal of this iPhone Application is to teach users the relationship between color and music based on Kandinsky’s theories.
