Abstract:
Avoiding eye contact behavior has been characteristic of individuals with autism. Such behavior prevents intrinsic development of social and communication skills. In this paper we present a directional eye contact reminder system which reminds people with autism to generally focus their eyes in the direction of a human speaker. This device detects a speaker's voice, calculates the sound direction, and directs their eyes by displaying a prompt on the computerized-eyewear which is a Head-Mounted Display, in the direction of the speaker. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of our prototyping system.
