Abstract:
Qawqaa is a virtual reality based game for accessible and engaging aural rehabilitation in Arabic for children from eight to twelve years old with bilateral cochlear implants. The system contains two parts providing the game side that aims to enhance auditory skills, language development, and overall rehabilitation experience, and a monitoring and tracking side for rehabilitation center therapists, facilitating efficient tracking of a child’s progress within the game. Using Qawqaa, we minimize clinic visits, enable effective progress monitoring, and ensure an enjoyable rehabilitation experience for the children.
