Abstract

Eye contact disorder is one of the typical characteristics of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and this issue is directly related to the deficiencies in social interaction. In this poster, we present MaskMe, a collaborative game to help children with ASD make eye contact. Our game set several rules to encourage children with ASD to make eye contact with each other, we use the mask to cover children's face to reduce their stress when making eye contact, and we developed a device attached to the mask that can define if eye contact is occurring. We conducted a pilot user study using MaskMe with 18 children with autism, the result shows that our game was effective on encourage them to have more eye contact with each other.
