A Google Glass app to help children diagnosed with autism recognise emotions in those around them, is to enter into a clinical trial. The app "gamifies" children's interactions with their environment, for example, requesting that they find someone who looks happy, and then using the Glass' in-built facial recognition and eye-tracking technology to award points to the child for correct identifications. Initial results from an earlier trial of 40 children appeared promising, so the team of Voss-based scientists are ﻿launching a new clinical trial of around 100 children, based in their homes. The Google Glass is currently out of production, with a relaunch expected in 2016, targeting the enterprise market.
