Autistic people have difficulties in recognizing and expressing emotions from/to other
people. Technologies can help to facilitate the communication and understanding between autistic
and other people. This work particularly investigates the requirements autistic adolescents have on
technologies that can measure bodily responses to recognize their emotions. A smartwatch, smartpatch
and infrared camera were evaluated as potential everyday use devices to measure emotion.
User requirements on emotion recognition technologies were elicited through an online survey (73
completed responses) and ten semi-structured interviews with autistic adolescents. The smartwatch
is the preferred product, followed by the smart-patch. Infrared cameras are deemed unsuitable
devices.
