Abstract

The Augmented reality is a booming technology in the fields of communication, education, medicine, marketing, architecture or entertainment, but it is still targeted to hegemonic publics. The objective of this research is to explore its utility in the communication and learning of people with Down Syndrome. Methodology: Therefore, an AR experience was designed, executed and evaluated and consisted in the visit of three groups of subjects with this pathology to two museums in the city of Bilbao, assisted by a mobile application. Results and conclusions: Results show that a greater level of cognitive maturity and previous use of CITs influenced in a better user experience, but are not determinant. This technology is useful for moving around public spaces, which enables autonomy and, consequently, a better quality of life. The visual component is rather helpful in maintaining attention, acquiring information and long-term memory, which suggests the need to develop tools and implement specific programs for these individuals.
