ASD児者の表情認知・表出スキルトレーニングシステムの開発

抄録

Facial expression is one of the most important social skills for smooth communication. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty with facial expression communication and need support to acquire social skills. Therefore, we developed a training system for facial expression and a support system for recognition of facial expressions. In the training system for facial expression, we devised a user interface so that users can enjoy training by themselves. The user can make facial expressions according to the teacher’s image on the PC screen, and check his or her own facial expression and score with the PC camera. In the facial expression recognition support system, the user’s facial expression recognition is supported by displaying the expression of the person in front of the user in words on the smart glasses. These developed systems were evaluated based on usability, and improvements were discussed based on these evaluations.
