Abstract

The research target in this case study was an autistic student at a special education school, who often unconsciously became hunchbacked during group activities or when not talking to people. We designed a system for hunchback detection using smart phone. Combined with an assistive T-shirt, the system could detect whether his/her back was hunched. Through this demonstration, we showcased the potential of using smart phones to develop simpler and more effective assistive devices for people with disabilities.
