El-dorado senses: jogo sério para modular a reatividade a estímulos sensoriais apresentados por mídias digitais

The development of effective interventions to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) process and organize sensory information is essential, considering the sensory difficulties often presented by this population and the growing technological development. The aim of this study was to present the development of the serious game El-Dorado Senses, a tool that aims to modulate reactivity to sensory stimuli presented by digital technologies in children with ASD. The development process involved a multidisciplinary team and followed the stages of analysis, design, modeling and implementation, using computer tools such as Unity 3D, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Software tests (black box and white box) were conducted to check the technical quality of the game and expert evaluation to check the quality of the tool's applicability. In addition, a complementary web platform was developed to allow parents and professionals to monitor the children's progress. The results show that the El-Dorado Senses game meets the specified requirements.
