Quincy

  • Quincy is a young boy with Level 2 Autism - requiring significant support. Quincy has trouble recognizing non-verbal communication cues and social context. However, Quincy excels in structured learning environments and responds to direct explicit directions.

    Socially-unassisted, Quincy does not pick up on body language or situational context; he sometimes becomes scared, nervous, and frustrated around kids his age because of this.

  • Children with Autism can face unique difficulties in social settings, particularly among peers who do not share the same neurological challenges. These difficulties primarily revolve around the failure to interpret and respond to non-verbal communication cues, which are often critical for social interaction and building relationships.

  • Non-verbal signals like facial expressions, body language, and eye contact can be challenging to decipher, leading to misinterpretations of others' emotions or intentions

  • Quincy might struggle to use non-verbal cues to express his own feelings appropriately, which can lead to misunderstandings or conflicts with peers who misinterpret his intentions.

  • Group activities often require understanding subtle social cues to effectively participate. Quincy might find it challenging to follow group norms or take turns, which can hinder his inclusion in group settings.

Quincy & SocialQ in action

  • Group activities often require understanding subtle social cues to effectively participate. Children with Autism may have trouble with nuances only shown through facial affect and might find it challenging to follow group norms or take turns. Without assistance, these difficulties which can hinder Quincy’s inclusion in group settings.

  • The camera integrated in Quincy’s camera scans the scene and SocialQ’s image processing detects other children, balloons, a birthday cake

    SocialQ determines that the scene is a child’s Birthday Party, examines Quincy’s SocialQ profile and delivers Quincy personalized audio message through the Smart glasses using age-appropriate language, e.g. “looks like a fun birthday party!” and “most kids will want to make new friends at a party like this.”  

  • Quincy’s camera also detects facial data from the participants from the scene.  SocialQ can deliver to Quincy emotional state data for any face seen in a scene.

    SocialQ also understands context (e.g. people do not usually cry at Birthday parties) and out-of-context behavior can be particularly difficult for children with ASD to comprehend.

  • Before, Quincy may think that a child crying at a party is mad at HIM. However, SocialQ can give Quincy contextual awareness of emotions, e.g. SocialQ learns that a ballon popping caused children to cry. SocialQ can deliver a personalized message to Quincy - “those children are not mad at you, Quincy,” or “trying bringing her a new ballon.

    Since Quincy’s Autism profile notes that he responds well to explicit direct instructions and structured learning environments, Quincy receives a personalized social cue giving him direct explicit feedback about the social encounter.
