Spatial Computing Against the Math Crisis
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This demo presents three Augmented Reality (AR) applications designed to support children with dyscalculia in training fundamental mathematical skills. While AR technologies raise valid concerns around privacy, overexposure, and cognitive overload, they also offer unique opportunities for inclusive and embodied learning. By overlaying interactive numerical tasks within real-world environments, our demo leverages spatial computing to reinforce contextual understanding of mathematical concepts. Drawing inspiration from finger counting and other embodied strategies, the demo promotes a multisensory approach to number sense. This work contributes a novel and accessible tool in the broader effort to address the "math crisis" through inclusive technology design.
