Summary Article_From autism to Chinese, a headset to help you with your language
Learning a tonal language like Chinese is tricky. There was a system, created for people with autism who want help with social interactions, but it could be adapted to help with speech or anxiety problems - or even language learning. This system is designed by part of the team, says Lou Anne Boyd at the University of California at Irvine. It is called SayWAT, it gives real time feedback via Google Glass to user when they are speaking quiet loudly or in a moderate tone. This system was tested to fourteen autistic adults which has feedback in different effect because pitch is more complicated and might necessary more specific response, said Boyd. Some autistic people do not wish to change the way they interact, even though for others, the technology seems to fill necessary.
