Wearing glasses embedded with facial recognition technology can help children with autism spectrum disorder identify emotions and facial expressions, reports a study published today in JAMA Pediatrics.
“Autism behavioral therapy is effective but expensive and difficult to access,” wrote Catalin Voss, M.S., and colleagues at Stanford University. “Learning aids based on novel ubiquitous technologies using machine learning can begin to address these problems by creating opportunities for therapy that are accessible outside of the clinician’s office.”
The intervention used in this study, known as Superpower Glass (SG), was deployed via Google Glass. When the device’s camera detects a face, a visual representation of the person’s facial expression is shown on the glasses’ monitor using emojis (audio voice cues can also be enabled). The technology recognizes eight emotions: happy, sad, angry, scared, surprised, disgust, “meh,” and neutral.
