Autism Glass: Catalin Voss of Stanford University is developing an emotional learning aid for children with autism based on smart glasses like Google Glass. According to Voss’s vision, an individual with autism puts on the glasses and automatically recognizes emotions in other people's faces using an artificial intelligence system. Autism Glass would give intelligent social cues to the child right then and there via a heads-up display or audio.Credits: Photo courtesy of Stanford University
