Animal Thematic Game Based on Kinect Sensor for Mental Retardation Rehabilitation

Abstract

The children with mental retardation syndrome have diverse limitations on their life that are concentration, synchronization, interaction, planning, a problem solving. they need solution to take care of their limitations. In this paper, we propose the framework to make them feel comfort to learn more and to do for rehabilitation. It comprises 3 components that are the computer sensor device, intellectual functions, and thematic game. Such framework is as a reference to create the design of the animal thematic game which will be applied to the children with mental retardation syndrome. Before applied to them, the proposed design needs an experiment whether it has an eligibility aspect or no. The results of this research showed that there was no significantly different between the observed data and the expected data, it implied that the design of an animal thematic game based on Kinect sensor was deserved by the children with mental retardation syndrome.
