Abaris: Evaluating Automated Capture Applied to Structured Autism Interventions
In Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp), ISBN 3-540-28760-4, Tokyo, Japan, Sep. 2005 (bib)

We present an example of an automated capture application which pro-vides access to details of discrete trial training, a highly structured intervention ther-apy often used with developmentally disabled children. This domain presents an interesting case study for capture technology, because of the well-defined practices and the tradition of manual recording and review of materials. There is a strong moti-vation for therapists to review the rich record of therapy sessions that is made possi-ble by recorded video, but acceptance hinges on minimal intrusion upon the human activities. To achieve that, we leverage several perception technologies that fit with the natural activities of the live experience and allow the creation of meaningful indi-ces. We also critically explore the contribution various perception technologies have on the overall utility of the capture system.
