Abstract:

  • Some people including those with autism and developmental disabilities have sensory hypersensitivity.
    To support them, the social diffusion of “Quiet rooms” where they can chill out is required. However, the significant cost of setting these rooms up is an issue. We introduced the “Inclusive Quiet Room,” a novel approach to a portable Quiet Room that merges an easy-to-construct Instant House with immersive videos and soothing sounds. This paper examines the impression and practicality of the Inclusive Quiet Room by analyzing questionnaire responses and heart rate data from people who tried it at a media art exhibition.
