FUNologo: An Android-based Mobile Virtual Reality Assisted Learning with Speech Recognition Using Diamond-Square Algorithm for Children with Phonological Dyslexia

The study aims to provide a synergy of mobile development and virtual reality application into a fun and interactive speech-controlled game designed for children with phonological dyslexia. It also focuses on the approach conducted to specify, design, and implement the virtual reality application using Diamond-Square Algorithm. With the integration of a learning technique called the OrtonGillingham multisensory approach, the Android-based virtual reality assisted learning application will help these children establish their phonological awareness in terms of rhyming and syllabication as they immerse themselves into an audio-visual learning experience. The methodology used in this research are system storyboard, rapid application development, and testing and evaluation of the software using ISO 9126. The performance of the proposed system was evaluated by implementing an evaluation plan. When this stage was completed, it was guaranteed that all input from the tests generated throughout each iteration of the process were addressed, resulting in a more improved and satisfactory software product. The summary results from the data analysis supported the claim that the V.R. application had increased the results with an average percentage of 71% and has a potential as an alternative platform to traditional teaming.
