Google Glass App Helps Autistic Children with Social Interactions
From: Medical Design Technology - 09/15/2017

A prototype software application, to be used with the optical head-mounted
display Google Glass, has been designed as a social-skills coach for children
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

A new study published in the open-access journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI
finds that the wearable technology can recognize conversational prompts and
provide the user with suitable responses in return. Moreover, children find
it easy to operate and enjoy using it.

It is hoped that further developments will allow customization for individual
users, such as changing prompt location, size and medium, to cater to each
child's unique preference and ability. In addition, more work is needed to
improve the app's ability to deal with speech differences that can affect
those with autism spectrum disorder.
