Abstract
Using the advantages of the sense of presence generated by virtual rea lity, a system to help children with autism was developed. Two case st udies with children showed virtual reality has the potential to provid e a safer, customized learning environment for individuals with autism . A model of reality that discusses historical and perceptual rules as well as input stimuli in forming a sense of presence is described.
