Autism is a congenital cerebral dysfunction caused by the complex involvement of various genetic factors. It is said that about one in 100 people, including mild ones, have autism. Autism mainly has characteristics such as 'interpersonal weakness', 'communication weakness', and 'patterning of interests and activities', and in childhood, 'not interested in others' 'mostly play alone' It is said that the appearance of autism can be confirmed in the form of 'do not imitate people' or 'restlessness'.
Superpower Glass is a project that has been undertaken for more than five years since 2015, focusing on the fact that 'autistic children can not recognize basic emotions from the faces of others', machine learning and artificial intelligence ( AI) and using Google Glass to provide behavioral therapy to children.
Superpower Glass uses an outward-facing camera attached to Google Glass to record communication between children and their families and interpret emotions from faces automatically detected by algorithms. The emotions can be expressed as emoticons, emoticons, or words on the Google Glass display, or spoken using built-in bone conduction speakers. The seven emotions that are recognized are 'happiness', 'anger', 'surprise', 'sadness', 'fear', 'disgust', and 'contempt', which are said to be softly expressed for children.
Also, two games such as `` Capture the Smile '' that allows children to elicit happiness feelings to others and `` Guess the Emotion '' to name the emotions expressed by people are included to help children get used to Google Glass It seems to be.
In addition, parents can see in the movie how their child is acting through the smartphone app. Therefore, it is possible to understand what the child was seeing and feeling when he / she could not communicate well with the child, and then to provide feedback.
Google Glass is not worn all the time, but about 20 minutes of sessions several times a week. According to the project team, it is a program that lasts about six weeks at the time of article creation, which allows children to learn how to read the emotions of social partners.
“The most important thing is that devices like Google Glass allow families to control their own treatment and their way of life. Superpower Glass allows families to find ways to move forward. You can. '
