Abstract
Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD) is a neurological disorder associated with pattern of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Signs and symptoms of ADHD can be observed in the early stage of childhood and therefore a prompt diagnosis associated with a proper treatment is critical. Once diagnosed, different treatments are available such as behavioral therapy, medication and cognitive training: recent studies have shown that ADHD people are well responding to interactive games and technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) because these games require timely task completion, attention to detail and concentration. The aim of this work is to leverage on game therapy for ADHD and design Mind Marvel, a novel platform for ADHD. The Mind Marvel platform combines the design of interactive web pages with a VR environment transforming Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity Challenges into opportunities through such interactive gaming. The end user is involved in answering to set of questions and performing a VR game with a computer mouse, the keyboard, or a commercial VR controller. The platform has been tested in laboratory conditions: preliminary results show the capabilities of the Mind Marvel system to support and challenge ADHD.
