Like many autistic children, Julian Brown has trouble reading emotions in people’s faces, one of the biggest challenges for people with the neurological disorder.
Now the 10-year-old San Jose boy is getting help from ”autism glass” – an experimental device that records and analyzes faces in real time and alerts him to the emotions they’re expressing.
The facial-recognition software was developed at Stanford University and runs on Google Glass, a computerized headset with a camera and a tiny display.
Julian is one of about 100 autistic children participating in a Stanford study to see if autism glass therapy can improve their face-reading abilities.
Autism advocates are excited that researchers are developing technologies to help the estimated one in 68 American children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
