The use of virtual reality (VR) technology is an alternative in education for children with low-function autism. Through VR technology, children can learn to understand and adapt to the environment better. One aspect that supports the success of virtual reality is the use of Head-Mounted Display (HMD). This study explores the acceptance rate of children with low-function autism while using HMD. Twelve children diagnosed with low function autism between 15-21 years old were the participants. The study found that participants' enthusiasm for using HMD was at a moderate level and recognition of VR content at a high level. While the error rate of participants when using HMD is at a low level. Participants' recognition of VR content reached 66.7%. This is because VR content contains a daily environment. It also concluded that there was no association of enthusiasm level and recognition level with the level of error in the use of HMD. © 2021 IEEE.
