Abstract:
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have social communication difficulties partly due to unusual visual processing strategy on human faces. However, their strategies are similar on cartoon faces as normal chilren. In this paper, we present Toon-Chat, a video chat system with virtual cartoon masks to help ASD children enhance communication and emotion comprehension skills. The system is tested in a series of ABA training lessons and the results are promising.
