Project overview
We devised Project Convey, a video chat prototype aiding those with autism in recognizing non-verbal social cues. Through facial emotion translation into emojis, this innovation enhances understanding of conversation nuances.
Leveraging AI cloud services like IBM Watson, our team analyzed real-time facial and verbal expressions. Speech-to-text and pitch analysis helped decipher verbal sentiment, while interpreting facial micro-expressions captured emotional nuances.
Launched in conjunction with International Autism Day, the prototype garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback. This technology-driven connection brought joy and closeness to individuals of all ages on the autism spectrum.
