Foodpreparing Lifeskill Application - Training children with special needs in Virtual Reality or Chat GPT
Solution details
Limitation:
There are existing applications for cooking, but this solution will address the full process of preparing food. In virtual reality the market can be an interactive scenario where students pick produce and put in their bag. This will give feedback to students as points with positive sound or no points and negative sound. Next scene will be in the home and there will be fridge, freezer and cold or warm cupboard.
Skills:
-Follow a recipe to make purchases from a list of food based on the ingredients
-Disposal of money within a limited budget
-Correct storing of the food products and leftovers
Requirements:
-The text needs to be combined with an audio-file
-The correct actions will generate point and make a positive sound (Ex. Pling-pling)
-The wrong action will make a negative sound (E.x Bump)
Tweet / Slogan
To support the families that have children with disabilities the application will work as a training scenario for preparing food. This involve preparing shopping list, go to the shop and store produce. The food should be adapted to the produce available in the existing country
Food Preparing Application
Resources
As a solution to the problem, I use an application that "glues" a new subtitle to the existing video content, and within the framework of that application, the installation of a new application that synthesizes speech (reads the subtitle) is withdrawn.
Unfortunately, there is currently only an application for phones on the market, there is no variant for a computer or laptop. We don't even have a smart TV, which makes it even more difficult for us to watch the content.
For now, I do it through an interactive whiteboard on which I project the video content, and on the phone I turn on the application, bring the mobile phone closer to the microphone that is connected to a larger speaker, and that way it is heard more strongly.
It's difficult, but somehow it works.
So this is not my application, nor do I have the knowledge as a teacher to do something more than using the existing application.
