AR-Based Embodied Avatar Assistance for Nonspeaking Autistic People? Design and Feasibility Study

Many nonspeaking autistic individuals rely on Communication and Regulation Partners (CRPs) to develop spelling-based communication using physical letterboards, but this support is often geographically inaccessible. We developed a remote presence system using Augmented Reality (AR) to enable immersive, collaborative sp…

Grab-and-Release Spelling in XR: A Feasibility Study for Nonspeaking Autistic People Using Video-Passthrough Devices

This paper explores the feasibility of using video-passthrough Extended Reality (XR) devices to support communication in nonspeaking autistic individuals. Prior XR work relied on expensive AR headsets and near-hand tapping interactions. We present LetterBox, a novel application for video-passthrough XR headsets (e.g.,…

From Letterboards to Holograms: Advancing Assistive Technology for Nonspeaking Autistic Individuals with the HoloBoard

About one-third of autistic individuals are nonspeaking, i.e., they cannot use speech to convey their thoughts reliably. Many in this population communicate via spelling, a process in which they point to letters on a letterboard held upright in their field of view by a trained Communication and Regulation Partner (CRP…
