ProCom: designing a mobile and wearable system to support proximity awareness for people with autism. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
People with autism are at risk for social isolation due to the differences they experience in how they perceive and engage with the social world. In this work, we aim to address one specific concern related to socialization---the understanding, awareness, and use of interpersonal space. Specifically, we developed a prototype system, ProCom, that combines wearable sensors with a mobile phone application to support developing awareness of physical proximity in social settings without requiring instrumentation of the room or other person. Preliminary evaluations indicate that ProCom is technically feasible, usable, and produces reliable and accurate measurements of physical proximity, suitable for a therapeutic intervention. |
