为了促进自闭症儿童的目光接触学习和行为，存在专门的环境以及智能手机应用程序。然而，目前很少有技术支持在学习过程中所需的行为改善的评估。在本文中，我们描述了最近开发的可穿戴智能眼镜仪表与机电传感器和控制器。由教师和孩子佩戴的机电一体化眼镜定量测量孩子的目光接触行为。教练眼镜通过低功耗蓝牙与智能手机应用程序连接。在智能手机上创建并托管用户界面，以使教师能够基于目光接触行为的改善来定制对儿童的奖励。具体来说，智能手机应用程序量化了目光接触的持续时间、频率、延迟和会话时间，允许教师、治疗师和临床医生监测和跟踪儿童在目光接触行为方面的进展。对照受试者对器械进行初步用户测试的结果表明，器械能够记录会话细节并支持目光接触行为评估。
To promote eye contact learning and behavior in children with autism, there exist specialized environments as well as smartphone applications. However, few currently available techniques support the assessment of desired behavioral improvement during learning. In this paper, we describe recently developed wearable smart glasses instrumented with mechatronic sensors and controllers. The mechatronics glasses, worn by both an instructor and a child, quantitatively measure the eye contact behavior of the child. The instructor glasses connect with a smartphone application through Bluetooth low energy. A user interface is created and hosted on the smartphone to enable the instructor to customize the reward to the child based on improvements in eye contact behavior. Specifically, the smartphone application quantifies the eye contact duration, frequency, latency, and session time, allowing instructors, therapists, and clinicians to monitor and track the child’s progress in eye contact behavior. The results from preliminary user testing of the device with control subjects show that the device is capable of recording sessions details and supporting eye contact behavior assessment.
