自闭症儿童互动界面艺术设计中的注意力分析研究

Attention Analysis in Interactive Interface Art Design of Autistic Children

摘要: 该项目是正在开展的自闭症儿童关爱项目中的一部分，该项目旨在探究自闭症儿童互动式系统的潜在应用。IMA科研团队就自闭症儿童专注力不集中问题进行了探索，开发了计算机界面平台帮助自闭症儿童改善专注力。在此研究中，IMA团队介绍了注意力分析系统，该系统适合每一位儿童，都是可重复的，并且是根据设计开发者定义的特定场景进行演变的。这个场景考虑了每位自闭症儿童的年龄、能力和程度。为了让儿童注意力关注到相关的物体上，IMA团队的系统显示或播放具体的界面艺术设计图形，刺激每一位特定的儿童。儿童通过行为或声音将其情感反馈出来，并通过对定义了的专注力进行测量，分析注视方向和面部方向，结合儿童的特定轮廓进行定义。根据所设计的互动界面艺术设计，系统帮助孩子们对基本感知进行分类，以便于解决自闭症儿童专注力问题。

Abstract: The project is part of an ongoing project to explore the potential use of interactive systems for children with autism. IMA research team has explored the problem of inattention in autistic children and developed a computer interface platform to help autistic children improve their concentra-tion. In this study, the IMA team introduced an attention analysis system that is suitable for every child, is repeatable, and evolves according to the specific scenarios defined by the design developer. This scenario takes into account the age, ability and degree of each autistic child. To keep children’s attention focused on relevant objects, the IMA team’s system displays or plays specific interface art designed graphics that stimulate each particular child. Children feedback their emotions through behavior or voice, and through the measurement of defined concentration, analysis of gaze direction and facial direction, in combination with the child’s specific profile definition. According to the interactive interface art design, the system helps children classi-fy basic perception, so as to solve the attention problem of autistic children.
