Abstract(in English) Children with autism usually need communication support for developing their language abilities. Since they are difficult to share joint attention with his or her communication partner, they have a problem of having no interest in teaching materials. Then we applied augmented reality (AR) into voice-output communication aid (VOCA) in order to develop an attractice teaching material for them. In trial system VCAN/AR, when its user hides one of the AR markers depicting communication symbols by hand, the corresponding sound is output, subsequently a virtual object being added at the position of the marker on the display. In an attempt to verify children' interest in such AR, we carried out experiments using three children with autism and a child with intellectual disability. Consequently, two children with autism and a child with demonstrated an interest in a self-image presentation.
