Patent number: 11600190Abstract: An adaptive computer simulation rendering system is disclosed for conditioning an individual having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to real-world environments through variable sensory output in computer simulations. The subject is fully or partially immersed in a computer-simulated environment for a time-limited session. Real-time monitoring of the human subject is performed for a change in a sensor-derived, quantified sensory load level. Responsive to an increase in sensory load level, the computer-simulated environment modulates the sensor load on the individual. The human subject adapts to increasingly complex environments by this modulation of simulation thereby providing therapeutic benefit to the individual with ASD.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Lisa A. Dieker, Michael Hynes, Charles Hughes, Eleazar Vasquez, Kathleen Ingraham, Claire Donehower Paul, Taylor Bousfield

Patent number: 11600188Abstract: An adaptive audio rendering system is disclosed for conditioning an individual to real-world environments through variable audio output in computer simulations. The subject is fully or partially immersed in a computer-simulated environment for a time-limited session. Real-time monitoring of the human subject is performed for a change in a sensor-derived, quantified sensory load level. Responsive to an increase in sensory load level, the computer-simulated environment modulates the quantity of audio information such as background noise, background dialog, foreground dialog and foreground noise.
