Samsung wants to help autistic children be more social with its new app

Samsung has released a new app that helps people with autism establish eye contact. According to statistics, one in 68 children in the U.S. have autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. Some of the symptoms of the condition include poor eye contact and social skills. Samsung’s new app aims to treat these symptoms. The Look at Me app, developed with Yonsei University’s department of psychology and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, enables autistic children to play a series of games and tests that were developed in order to improve their social skills and eye contact.
