Google Glass Is A Feasible Wearable Socio-Affective Aid For Children With Autism

Google's Glass Enterprise Edition (Glass), the successor to Google Glass smartglasses, has been found to be a feasible wearable socio-affective aid in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While smartglasses may be able to assist with educational and behavioral needs, their usability and acceptability in children with ASD has been largely unknown.

These findings were reported in “Second Version of Google Glass as a Wearable Socio-Affective Aid: Positive School Desirability, High Usability, and Theoretical Framework in a Sample of Children with Autism” by Ned T. Sahin, Ph.D.; Neha U. Keshav, Ph.D.; Joseph P. Salisbury, Ph . . .
