Abstract


This paper describes system requirements found (i) through a search in the scientific literature on studies related to the use of serious active games (exergames) hardware to the autism spectrum dis order (ASD) population and (ii) a list of requirements for the development of exergames for interactive floor, created through inter views of 41 specialists in the field of ASD. Three requirements for hardware and 27 requirements for software have been stablished for an exergame on an inter active floor aiming for sensory processing.

Keywords: Autism, Serious Games, Exergames, Interactive Floor, Game Design
