    Short Description

    We developed an educational system for mentally retarded children. By virtually imitating real-life situations we try to help those people not only in everyday life but also include some common scholastic problems. One of the most important everyday necessities is to go shopping in a supermarket.

    Our concept includes the development of a virtual shopping scenario, which is controlled by a custom input device.
