Simulated Environment for Autism Research (SEAR)

The Simulated Environment for Autism Research (SEAR) is a controlled virtual setting designed to study how individuals with autism perceive and respond to social situations. Using technology like virtual reality, researchers can create realistic scenarios to observe behaviors, improve understanding of social challenges, and develop targeted interventions. By providing a safe and adaptable environment, SEAR helps scientists gather detailed insights into social interactions, communication, and sensory experiences, supporting better support strategies for individuals on the autism spectrum.
