No, that is not a headline from 2013. Empowered Brain, a suite of apps by Brain Power, officially shipped 60 units last week. Successive rounds of releases will be ongoing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Brain Power made headlines in January with a wildly successful IndieGoGo campaign. Over $165,000 was raised, marking 1245% of their stated goal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Founder Ned Sahin first got the notion to develop Autism support devices and software when he attended a MIT symposium on neurodevelopment disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI was absolutely astonished at how much remains undiscovered about the hows and whys of autism, from a neuroscience point of view, and even more importantly I was shocked and even shamed to learn that parents have to wait so long to get information about their children\u2019s condition, and then have so little in the way of effective training strategies or treatments, or numerical reports on their children\u2019s progress,\u201d Sahin told TechCrunch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Using Google Glass Enabled with Brain Power to Cope with Autism<\/h1>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7481\" style=\"width: 452px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7481\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10423076703_307b1cb94f_k-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"google glass\" width=\"452\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10423076703_307b1cb94f_k-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10423076703_307b1cb94f_k-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10423076703_307b1cb94f_k-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/10423076703_307b1cb94f_k.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ted Eytan, Flickr.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The product he and his team developed targets kids with moderate to high-functioning autism. Using Google Glass\u2019s accelerometer, the software \u2018sees\u2019 and notes where kids look and when they make eye contact with others. It also notes instances of stereotypy, which describes a wide range of sensory behaviors to which children with Autism are prone. Users score points for things like making eye-contact, accurately guessing someone else\u2019s feelings, and other social interactions with which autistic learners tend to struggle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Other apps in Empowered Brain help people develop everyday job skills, make transitions between physical settings, and self-regulate behavior. In total, the system includes a Google Glass device, a mobile app, and a web portal to view data and progress reports. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhile many crowdfunding projects are delayed a year or more, I am thrilled that we have shipped the product to the wonderful families we aim to serve, on time,\u201d said Dr. Ned T. Sahin, CEO and founder of Brain Power, in a statement. \u201cI am personally commitment to delivering the best experience for them, which is why we\u2019ve done years of rigorous scientific studies and clinical trials with autistic people before offering this product.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Learners with autism or IEPs stand to make some significant gains in the classroom as technology plays a greater role in education. From social interactions to new environments to hectic school scenarios, learners with autism often struggle in school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cFamilies and schools struggle significantly, and as a medical doctor I know that the healthcare system does not have the answer,\u201d says Dr. Arshya Vahabzadeh, Brain Power\u2019s Chief Medical Officer. \u201cTechnology levels the playing field and can lower the wall around access to services.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Will Google Glass Make a Comeback?<\/h1>\n<p>After a surge of hype in the early years of this decade, Google Glass soon belly-flopped as a device that will likely come to be seen as ahead of its time. Still, while it didn&#8217;t sell many consumer units, the technology has not died. It has instead found a different market. Last year, Google rolled out Glass Enterprise, a second version which has caught on in manufacturing, warehouse, shipping, and other industries.<\/p>\n<p>It has also proven a boon for other communities with special needs, such as the visually impaired.<\/p>\n<p>Wearable AR and mobile-connected devices are by no means going away. But their commercial viability has not yet taken off. For now, these products remain costly and attract nowhere near the same community of app developers as seen with mobile Android or iOS devices. But as more and more groups prove their usefulness, that situation should give way to a more user-friendly environment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Cover Image: Karlis Dambrans, Flickr.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, a Google Glass-based product that helps students with autism or who require an individualized education plan (IEP) issued a limited product release.
